Another BP Oil Leak Solution

1. Wrap a carbon fiber sheet around pipe.
2. Zip/attach ends together with ROV to form a wrap.
3. Slide over leak using ROV.
4. Pull sewn-in slip ties to tighten ends using ROV.
5. Fly ROV around pipe to create sufficient tension.
6. Attach lead weights to hold in place (or use other means to fasten cable to itself).
7. Wind additional fiber to increase strength and reduce leaks.
