I think they are already filming the leak quite well, it's plugging it that's the problem.

I highly doubt that James Cameron is an "expert" at deepwater anything. That's not to say he doesn't have experience with it. He simply doesn't have the time to put into it what it would take to be an expert.

It's amusing how much the public has so many ideas - "why can't they just do this?" - without any idea of how difficult working at that depth is. Robots must do the work, and everything is really slow. How long does it take for even a robot to get down to depth?
