Storm puts Gulf spill work on hold

At least here is something from the main stream media about the disaster. Although it's pretty basic coverage stating that since the well cap is a mile deep, any large storm would probably not affect the cap.

I need some answers about how deep into the sea bed the drilling went. This article says it's a nearly 2 mile underground shaft. I saw a graph that showed it was at least 8 or possibly 9 miles deep under the sea floor.
