The squares you sometimes see out the airplane window are exactly 1 mile across. That well is about 6 of those squares straight down, and 1 square deep of water above that. It's amazing technology that they can drill it. The temperatures and pressures must be extreme. The oil should blast itself right out. How did a 600 foot deep lake of dead algae get down there in the first place?

Blows my mind that they can drop a drill 6400’ to the sea floor and bore a hole 29,000’.
