0:43 -Install a open diverter over the well. Then install diverter flare booms
0:51 - close diverter and send fluids to diverter flare booms
1:03 - back pressure causes a subsurface blowout and fluids escape to surface. Uncontrollable fires result.
1:38 - drill a relief well (that'll take a while)

2:55 - shockwave etc collapses casing and seals off well.
3:13 - job done. Clean up site (ahem)
