The volumes of oil spilled have been grossly underestimated from the beginning. Corexit 9500 has been a valuable part of the coverup because it binds to oil and carries the oil below the surface of water where it is less visible. The fact that Corexit is so toxic it has been banned in Great Britain and other European nations has been ignored in the USA. Investigative reporter Dahr Jarmail reports that Gulf air is so laden with chemicals that it is possible to smell and taste the chemicals in the air.

The pressures revealed at discovery were ten times higher than values that would have been regarded as a superb new oil well. The amounts of oil released daily from this well and the pressure at the time of discovery were so alarming they have been withheld from the public. The underwater oil pressure is so enormous that 5 or 6 new ruptured regions of oil leaks near the original well have been sighted.  Oil flowing under very high pressure contains sand which erodes the pipe. Steel pipes 2 inches thick on the BP gulf well have already been shaved down to one inch in diameter. It is only perhaps a matter of a few weeks or perhaps a month before these pipes rupture.
