Also the image shows that the relief well will be drilled into the reservoir. I would be surprised if they go that route. No telling what sorts of depletion or pressure issues you have going onthere. Better to just target close to the last casing shoe which would just above the reservoir.
They are drilling at lest 2 relief and the will try to drill into the current well to be able to plug it below the stack. The second is a failsafe I'm sure but in reality, they want that dman reserve producing.

That'd suck if the containment dome captures a shark on the way down and clogs the hole for the oil to spew up.

It would suck if the dome became unstable due to the pressures and knocked the BOP off the well.

I thought the dome was going over the part of the riser pipe that broke were the major leak is that is a decent distant away from the BOP. And the smaller leak was near the BOP, but I got that from some graphic they showed on TV, so I may be wrong.

No, that is true what you heard. The biggest leak is in the crease of the riser away from the BOP.
