Recall, please, the "Glomar Explorer" that was capable of hweavy marine salvage at 17,000 ft deep a few decades ago. The Navy has been considerably improved in its' expertise since then. They , the Navy, should have been called day one and as much of the debris as possible removed from the area and brought to the surface making the valve body available from every angle, then. maybe the valve could be shut. The Glomar or its' modern equilevent can deliver what ever is needed in terms of equpiment, tools and remote operation robots that could have beejn more successful that the current lame attempt.
