It seems they have just effectively installed a custom BOP on top of the failed BOP . This apparently took several weeks of development.What were the issues that prevented them from just replacing the failed BOP with a new BOP at the sea floor ?

For one thing, what do you do with the drill pipe stuck in the rams of the DWH BOP?

another issue was that it would not unlatch from the wellhead.

For one, you can't just go to Home Depot and buy one of these.
