I suppose the pressure in the pipe needs to be looked at relative to the pressure surrounding it. If the water pressure is 5000 PSI or so surrounding it, then the differential pressure would be around 1/2 of what it would be at atmospheric pressure. Would be nice if the govt. would give us a view with our own sub cameras instead of relying only on BP's video of the well. Does anyone know whether oil is leaking at any other areas of the seafloor?
Boycotting BP at the gas pump is a waste of time. Where do they think gas from some of the other stations comes from? It all goes into the same pipe from the refinery and gets distributed under the name brands later. People don't realize how much oil is used for the production of chemicals and plastics, and that fuel is only part of where the oil ends up. If they want to boycott BP, they should also stop buying cell phones, soda bottles, and anything else made out of plastic. We mold tons of polypropylene that is made by BP Amoco Polymers.
