Importance: High

Thanks Jim.

THE LEAK COULD HAVE BEEN STOPPED IN 8 HOURS FLAT ONCE CPP MANUFACTURED ! Horizontal or Vertical !!!

Finally a human responds. The Branko R. Babic invention could be made in any welding shop in two or three hours
MINUS the 30,000 pound weights, placed on blocks to have a small crane lift onto a flat car with blocks like they put
under ships or boats, taken to a barge to take out to the site to be lowered 5,000 feet away from the rig BOP ready to
set it down with top section OPENED by ROV as it will be necessary to have waterproof sock or attachment over each
open end of pipe until ready to attach. For those who do not believe it would work make up a miniature model, put on
a DRILL PRESS forcing over a section of pipe sealing same then put high pressure air and water through convincing
everyone the machined BEVEL WASHER WILL DO IT IF SEALED OR WELDED TO THICK WALL RISER THAT JUST FITS
INSIDE THE RISER 21 INCH PIPE with .812 thickness and having a short sleeve protecting the opening of the riser by
pressure capturing it and making a second seal outside diameter as you seal inside diameter of the riser.

Any supports needed could be manufactured and installed LATER to hold it on top of the BOP flange to FLANGE
connection down toward the BOP which was not disturbed. GET THAT PICTURE JIM ? Can you make one up without
weights in 1 hour in welding shop with all size steel pipe…….then get one made with OIL RIG THICK WALL RISER PIPE
AND FIND ANOTHER RISER PIPE THAT BARELY GOES OVER THE RISER WHICH IS WELDED TO THE BEVELED WASHER
THICK WHICH IS WELDED TO THE FLOW THRU PIPE OF BRANKO R. BABIC WHO GAVE FULL PERMISSION TO USE IN
THE NATIONAL DISASTER ? How many hours could you put one on the same height as the top of the BOP.

1
Cut away the riser and see if there is some 3 feet to work with but have a double 45 degree ell short sleeve to put over
the riser taking the flow away from the BOP then move it and put the new item on top but have a short section on a 90
coming out of the flange top to move the flow away from work area.

Be sure to bring up forcing water from the sea or surface blowing across the work area slightly to keep the oil from
coming back down with gravity onto the BOP WORK AREA ! <<<<<<<<<SUPER NECESSARY

IF you were a welder I would even challenge you to get a 3 foot section of thick wall 18 inch riser pipe, make a special
beveled flange MACHINED to fit bevel end down inside 18 inches ID placed over the 18 inch riser then welded in
position 2 feet bottom from the end so you could place it on the riser pipe sealing same but without sleeve it might
split under 30K pressure…. Then add the shutoff after the WEIGHTS attached like a weight lifter puts them on a bar
then lifts up. Those would be welded in place going up the pipe before the shutoff with wheel. Then a short nipple and
a flange to hook up with the surface units.

Before you hook up this blowing item to the surface units start to close down the wheel gate valve then when ready
put the bolts for the male connection flange through and turn a valve allowing the flow to start UP the pipe. ONLY 24
INCHES OF RISER IS REQUIRED THEN YOU CAN PUSH DOWN ONE FOOT OF FLANGE WITH ONE FOOT OF PIPE AS THE
BEVELED WASHER WOULD CONTACT THE RISER AND THIS THING SET ON TOP TO BE SUPPORTED LATER. Allows
drawing full bore 18 inches to top plus shutting down unit while attaching flange or shutting down unit locked for
killing the RISER without drilling anything like PEMEX was forced to do.

2
For CASING OR BOP TOP !

3
 Same Principal with STRAW but 18 inch pipe with ANNULARS
PULLED DOWN SUPER TIGHT INSIDE PIPE THEN FLANGE AND SHUTOFF where drain is involved.

Everyone THREW OUT other suggestions from Illustration expert Brad Wehde involving cutting away the riser and
baring same then using a small clam shell BOP to shut down the well. PLUS he had an item similar to the LMRC
package but his had hydraulic borer to make a seal and move aside then a machined seal to pull hydraulically over the
flange sealing it forever.

What happened to going to CAMERON for a new top Flange then attaching everything on shore and bringing out the
new unit with short GE riser with hydraulic and mud lines attached then having a shutoff plus all lines mud and
hydraulic routed around the shutoff to new female flange with check valve then female flange would allow hookup to
surface? The 18 inches would allow the rig to be back in service minus the BOP annular and also the check valves
needed to keep hydraulic inside BOP might allow manual shutting of the BOP later. NO MANUAL ON THAT BOP TO
LOOK AT PLAN C, PLAN D, PLAN E ? There must be instructions to manually attach hydraulic lines and shut down
that puppy !

Will send it on but remember the Branko R. Babic Counter Pressure Plug was ideal for even the 2 foot section on top of
the BOP allowing a valve plus female flange connector recommended many days ago.
4
 See attached PDF. That Counter Pressure Plug or CPP with pipe could be inserted in 2 feet of pipe with sleeve making
it seal as the sleeve would just fit over the riser. Forget about the side pipes if you are just going to cut away the
hydraulic….which could be joined later by even temporary compression fittings. AUGUST relief Well….. YOU CAN
SHUT THIS PUPPY DOWN IN 8 HOURS FLAT.

Looked at the LOWER Marine Riser Cap Package as something being illustrated. Be sure to have holes in what goes
over BOP so you can thread holes inserting super strong all thread bolts to hold the unit in place.

I hope someone will get some water pressurized going against the work area to keep the mud and oil mixture away so
you can see clearly until the method is ready.

How many millions and days past 042610 ? Watch Agatha !

Lee Clark Et Al:

All of the Mayday one thru ten items are now UP on the site or web page http://www.scribd.com/ralphwhitleysr and you can use anything needed on any
show. Look at the 042610 item to see how long Ruth and I have been screaming for something to be done that we both know will work because I have
used it in the past and 5 inches or 5,000 feet makes no difference in liquid flow or gas flow….it all works and will work !

Sadly the Deepwater Horizon National Disaster is nothing but a drop in the proverbial bucket as some 350 rigs have similar problems with these 8 story
BOP’s used and piping even into the sea which could rupture or be pulled out causing a super spill in the Gulf. Most rigs are stationary with some 50-70
feet from the Gulf waters as their platform. Deepwater Horizon was a free floating or DP Mode vessel depending on GPS and thrusters to keep the rig
over a specific imaginary point in the Gulf. When the people of BP ignored two specific warnings 1) BOP annular failed due to operator error applying
too much pressure and shattering a critical component for shut down 2) one of two modules went down and one reportedly had a bad battery which
should have been changed or addressed immediately.

11 souls are on the bottom dead, 115 were able to escape as the Deepwater Horizon drifted with the waves and sea currents away from the BOP then was
pulled over on fire first from the GAS exploding but then from fuel and oil onboard igniting into an inferno . Abandon Rig orders meant everyone would
jump into the water or use four lifeboats immediately once the fire started . Sadly those 11 did not have any super DOT style reflective tabs in their
clothing nor did anyone have a fanny pack with inflatable life vest, light good for 48 hours minimum nor S.P.O.T. GPS notifier so they were lost.

Now for some history. I am former Navy and USAR decorated by both branches for 8.5 years Navy and some 8 more USAR teaching Military Police. I
also was a Professional Welder and Plumber II first for Hardaway Construction with C.B. Singleton hiring me as a welder then transferred to Tampa
Shipyard as a Welder and became a Boilermaker then went into the field in Mulberry for the special container welding work. I applied for a job at
Tampa General Hospital where they agreed to use me as a welder while teaching me Plumbing from 1974 until 1983. In 1979 while working at TGH near
a true medical genius Mason Trupp I was watching CNN about the IXTOC 1 runaway well blown out below the sea bed and like a blowtorch. Dr.
Trupp, who holds the patents for the Fighter Jet Pilot “G” Suit plus special wing on fighters that will go from perhaps 90 and 270 degrees to 170 and 210
6
degrees DART mode. Dr. Trupp asked me, a plumber welder how I would solve the spill leak. I already have been on hand when NASA called Dr.
Trupp in the Surgical area with a problem on the Space Shuttle or anything NASA had a problem with and this Genius would solve the problem in one
full minute while the nurse would hold the phone then he would return to surgery.

Dr. Trupp listened to my idea and told me to get on the phone to PEMEX or RED ADAIR who was going to blow out the well for $10,000,000.00 shortly.
I assured Dr. Trupp I would make the call when I returned home. First I called Red Adair’s business line only to have an old timer think it was super
funny for a mere plumber/welder to think he can give Red Adair a clue how to stop the leak, asking me how long I had worked in the rigs, how many
casings are in an oil pipe…etc. I asked him if the oil is a liquid form then he told me that if Red Adair could not blow it out he would give Red Adair my
message.

Then I remembered PEMEX and called the long distance overseas operator getting a staff person with PEMEX and told them I was asked by NASA
GENIUS DR. MASON TRUPP to make the call as he agreed my idea would shut down the well burning from below the Gulf. I was given to an
engineer and told him who I was, where I worked and then to use what I use….force lead into the pipe as it works for me here in Tampa in gas lines,
water and sewer lines. The man thanked me and about three weeks later we watched CNN show two barges at the line punched into the casing where
SOFTBALL size balls of lead by the thousands were molded and coated with grease then forced by air into the casing way below the blowout…….IT
WORKED !

When we saw the Deepwater Horizon tragedy, knowing of a NATIONAL DISASTER with oil and deadly gas flowing from three areas, we started
thinking and wrote an article 042610 sending same to all government officials then since then we have contacted a true GENIUS Branko Richard Babic
the 1991 inventor of the Counter Pressure Plug who instantly gave me permission to GIVE AWAY HIS PATENTED IDEAS to BP and our Government
Leaders so they could stop the leak within 8 Hours. My name is not KEVIN COSTNER and we had no NEWS CONFERENCE so no one paid any
attention to my ideas to use a Brenelle Jet Swet version concept to use an 18 inch pipe flow thru with special compression annular rubber turning for
compression by ROV to make it hold inside the 21 inch riser pipe at the fartherest point after cutting with an underwater chop saw capable of cutting 26
inch pipe in a heartbeat. Such would have collected ALL oil, gas, water from the end fracture.

Next would be insert another back toward the BOP and finally one at the BOP with Branko R. Babic invention called a Counter Pressure Plug with
wheel valve shutoff and flange outlet matching up to use the GE riser pipe to the surface which would have recovered the well and allowed them to shut
down the well immediately. I estimated making such a CPP could be done in less than 4 hours in a welding shop near LA or TX where they use similar
super thick wall pipe every day. Cost estimated less than $4,000.00 or $8,000.00 for two. I even got with Branko R. Babic via telephone to Oxford
England using SKYPE at 2 cents per minute where we discussed cutting the top of the BOP if a section 4 feet long was good, attaching his Counter
Pressure Plug with a sleeve tight fitting over the riser with the sleeve making another compression point to allow the riser to push out less than ONE
HALF INCH sealing inside the sleeve while the riser was sealed and weight holding all down to the top riser. Such would have allowed BP to use the well

7
FULL FLOW to the surface but I insisted, as I do today ALL RISERS should have shutoff valves and check valves on the hydraulic lines because the
event caused all critical Hydraulic Oil to go into the sea so the BOP could not shut.

Now many believe the BOP was lost…..Plan A push a button and it seals…..the Manufacturer must, in the manual have plan c, plan d, plan e, but no one
is reading anything. I watched in horror as the ROV turned from right to left attempting reportedly to close the BOP manually on the face plate when all
indications were the CLOSE was to the RIGHT or CLOCKWISE like Righty Tighty, Lefty Loosey. No one can blame the ROV operator as they did not
have the manual section nor were they told anything about emergency procedures since the Acoustic shut down operated from the ROV ship was not
there at all…another thing causing this damage.

Keep in mind you will review no less than 10 MAYDAY MESSAGES, the latest telling BP and USCG to use fire hose type water flow and a special
section of pipe made to move the flow of oil and gas off some 20 feet away from the BOP while the ROV cuts off the pipe attached but there must be two
cuts with the crane on surface assisting. Once cut frees the short section of the BOP riser, moves it aside with help of ROV attaching special SLING then
once on the Bottom clear of the BOP then the crane would unhook from the long section of pipe cut and move to the BOP top section where the ROV
would use the chop saw to cut away the pipe allowing a connection or cut away the top FLANGE then BP would have a second flange with riser pipe and
shutoff on same then another flange female for the same GE pipe to allow lowering of a long section of pipe down to the sea, perhaps even flexible with a
waterproof cover and shutoff immediately after the male flange which will link up with the female flange on top of the new BOP riser. Bolts can be
welded in place then all the ROV has to do is use DEEP SOCKETS with new Nuts tightening down after opening the shutoff valve once it is in position
OVER the flow then the riser addition valve can be opened as NO REAL PRESSURE would allow setting it in place with special O rings sealing the
connection. NO ONE CALLED EVER !

Our final MAYDAY TEN message to USCG commanders, BP, Horizon, Innovative Technologies, Governors and Officials was sent last evening. They
have my number and they have given receipts for each and every suggestion except MAYDAY TEN telling them to use pressure water from the surface
perhaps to keep with fan nozzles the oil and gas away from the ROV viewing so they can do their work without losing visual . Even Branko Richard
Babic is upset with these BP people for not taking his PROVEN GIFTS TO AMERICA in this emergency nor have they taken ideas for skimming oil
quickly and special rollers squeezing rotating mats of absorbent material PLUS the lifting power of submersible PUMPS inside steel or schedule 900 pipe
which would suck oil blobs from 1000 feet to the surface like SUMP PUMPS suck oil from a LIFT STATION or deep Ships Compartments…..NO ONE
LISTENS TO A MAN WHO IS 70 AND NOT A MOVIE STAR ! IF I was able to solve it why be on Social Security as I should be RICH owning a giant
firm. Right !!!!

We warned of the clouds of gas going near Nuclear Power Plants, Buildings or even over Vehicles causing them to take same into intakes and engines will
BLOW UP. I join others knowing this could have been over in 8 hours any time BP wanted to shut it down and listen to EXPERTS . Instead a straw is

8
used to pull off some oil to the surface ship. NOT using the JET SWET seal to get ALL but just 1/100 TH of the oil from one leak source….NOT IN
THREE LEAKS and certainly not shutting down the spill.

BP and others even refused to think of pushing LEAD BALLS or even STEEL BALLS which are available by the THOUSANDS all over the world for
steel in their JUNK SHOT. Instead they sent or stated they were sending a Junk Shot of sections of RUBBER and GOLF BALLS which would
compress….put one under a steel ROLLER on a plate and see how it reacts compressing or blowing apart since it does have a center. MAXFLY OR
DUNLOP BALLS ? White or GREEN ? NO LEAD OR STEEL BALLS WERE INSERTED and what is the opening size shown by the USCG xray of
the CLOSED CAMS WITH A SMALL OPENING…..ADD A BALL STEEL JUST A LITTLE LARGER IN THE FORCED PIPE THEN LET IT BE
PUSHED UP INTO THE BOP……WORK…… HECK YES ! Done…..NOT !

Everyone no doubt laughed at the idea given to use SUPER COLD LIQUID NITROGEN PUMPED INTO THE LINES TO FLOW UP WITH FRESH
WATER WHICH WILL FREEZE QUICKLY STOPPING THE FLOW TOTALLY. THE LMRP IS NEXT WITHOUT FLANGE….LOOK AT THE
TOP OF THE BOP WHERE THERE IS A FLANGE…..NO OTHER BOP SIMILAR WITH SIMILAR FLANGE CONNECTION WHICH IS
AVAILABLE AND WHY NOT CUT THE BOLTS AND NUTS THEN PUT ANOTHER FULL FLOW FLANGE WITH PIPE BUT ADD THE
SHUTOFF…… DUH ????? I EVEN SEE HYDRAULIC SHEARS NOW WHEN OCEANEERING HAD ROV WITH CHOP SAW ALL ALONG
ABLE TO CUT PIPE…..NOW THEY BRING HYDRAULIC SHEARS TO CUT SOMETHING….WHERE WERE THEY 042610 ?

We are normally available should you have questions on this National Disaster now in the hands of USCG Rear Admiral Landry assisted by former
Admiral Thad Allen and Former Lt. General Russell Honore from KATRINA fame for the Admiral and General Honore. We sent concerns about gas
killing people or dispersant gas making people sick with the cleanup or onboard vessels. We are not EPA but I remember EPA said Ground Zero air was
PERFECT AND SAFE……that was their first and last lie to me Sir. I keep an Oxygen Generator ready should I have a problem with waterspouts
depositing oil or dispersant liquids in RAIN. My partner and CO SUGGESTION PERSON is Ruth DeLaMater Bundy a professional in Backflow
Prevention, Inc. testing, repair, installations and she will be on the Oxygen mask first if I have my way.

Say a PRAYER for all the departed Veteran’s and THANK ANY VETERAN YOU MEET FOREVER !
