I just heard on the news that 3 differant experts all agree that from the video of the leak, the amount of oil coming out is more like 70,000 BARRELS a day. That's 3 Olympic-sized pools full of oil per day.
The little goey bits coming ashore are tar balls. Some of the outer islands where wildlife reserves are, are getting hit.
I'm pissed how BP is downplaying the whole damn thing. "Its a minor leak compared to the ocean." WTF? And if the oil is sinking to the ocean floor? Gee, good by reefs, good by crabbing and crayfishing, good by most fishing because the waters will be toxic.
Sorry, it makes me angry, this catastrophe.
