The containment box is built to where more than one hose can be hooked to it because they are going to have to pump surface water down into the box and suck it and the oil back out threw another hose. The reason for this is at this depth the natural gas in the oil may freeze and clog the hose if warmer surface water is not pumped in.
You can not figure the leak by the size of the pipe. The blow out presenter did partially close and the mud cap they were installing during the accident is still in place.
