    Actually this is not nearly strong enough for 15,000 feet. 15,000 Ft ÷ 33ft/atm ≈ 455 atmospheres x 14 psi ≈ 6000+ psi.

    If this is 4"/100mm thick with perfect welds and appropriate ends put on, it would be crushed at about 5700 feet/1750m according to this. That amount of pressure is very hard to imagine. Wow.
