I'm so old I remember when car headlights were round!

And your left arm was the turn signal.

When it first came on the news I told DW "It's no big thing. There is an automatic shut off valve just in case that happens."

Yeah... Um it doesn't quite work that way

Basically... The oil rig lost its mooring and went adrift, which sheared off a big pipe, and caused an underwater explosion. The crude oil burned underwater when they tried to cap (weld) the pipe.

This might get a bit technical, but my idea was to sleeve a pipe over the fractured pipe, using special bolts with a butterfly valve (open) and weld the pipe sleeve to the broken pipe using "T-nuts"

Hopefully I explained it correctly. The guys I was working with told me I should have filed for a patent.

I was a young dumb kid back then (but I was also smart)

And I also got no credit even when though I was working at a BP refinery.
