The oil spill is coming from an deep underground source. From this source around 13,000 ft below the surface of the water, oilt travels up to the surface through drill pipe and then through the blow out preventer stack. Placing a bomb on top of the BOP would not stop the oil from flowing.
The simple solution is to place an explosive just to one side of the well bore perhaps five feet away and maybe 100 feet deep. Backfill the drilled hole with a solid steel bar that is also cemented in place. The explosive charge can be relatively small since it only has to move a small section of rock laterally about three feet into the leaking well bore, thus shutting it off. If the first attempt fails to completely cut off the flow, it can be repeated at another place along the 13,000 length of the well bore hole.
If such a simple solution works, people may wonder why Obama didn't do it sooner and it could be embarassing.
In any case, why hasn't anyone consulted an actual rock mining engineer who is an expert on blasting with explosives?

What is the worlds largest oil spill?
The worst oil spill ever happend in march 15, 1910 in Kern County, California when a man named Julius Fried bought a patch of land hoping to strike it rich with oil. Months passed and the drill hit 2,200 feet (670 meters) below the surface, and the well erupted and gushed uncontrollably for 18 months spewing 9 million barrels of oil. About 5 million barrels were captured and sold.
