Can someone explain to me. Remember the very first video footage released by BP of the leak. The image was of some broken pipe sticking out of the ground. Since then, the picture was of a pipe on top of a huge structure.

Were there two separate leaks because if you search youtube for both videos, those two images are totally different and show different structures.
It was mentioned by Matt Simmons from the start that the oil was leaking in gargantuan proportions 6 miles away and the reason why the amount of oil estimated in the gulf could not have been created by that small pipe alone.
