Oh I am sure it would. But it might be the best choice. Its not like we've never detonated a nuke underwater before so we have a pretty good idea how it works. At the depth we are talking the effect should not be to severe but it would do some damage. I would think it would be less damaging than the oil. It would not take a huge one to collapse the hole.

Any reason regular explosives wouldn't work then?

Not nearly enough power. I've heard what would be needed would be in the 20 kiloton range to collapse it fully. Thats a lot of conventional explosives. Not to mention that many don't work under water. You gotta deal with the pressure in addition to the water.

With a nuke you dig one hole send in one bomb and you're good.

And all we'd have to do is bring back 8-track tapes and exempt him from taxes.
