Here is what I don't get.

So this pipe they have is forcing oil out, and they are forcing mud in. the two pressures are pushing on each other to put it the best way...

Why in the world does BP not get a whole bunch of the worlds strongest magnets. and align them in or along the side of the pipe as low as possible. and push metallic objects down the pipe to be attracted by the magnets.

Once things are slowed down ie clogged up... fill with cement and move higher in the pipe and do the same thing again... and keep moving up until it has been completely shut off.

I can't imagine we don't have magnets which can't hold up to the pressure or be stronger than the pressure of oil coming out... and the worst case is you just increase the pressure of the objects that are flowing in by a large magnitude thus making success much more likely.
