[FONT="]This is some sobering stuff. The evidence points to a downhole leak, which in the oil industry is the worst imaginable nightmare. The well casing is ruptured below the seabed and any attempt to shut the flow off at the Blow Out Preventor (BOP) will increase pressure and erode the earth around the casing leading to the total collapse of the well head and the release of oil over a widespread area. In fact, that erosion is well underway as the 450-ton BOP is already leaning. The well will collapse, it's inevitable. The only real hope is the relief wells BP is digging can get there before the collapse of the BOP.
