Tell me again what the Obama Admin has done about this accident? How about a quick list of tangible actions that made tangible results. Uh huh. I thought so. Que crickets chirping

I disagree. It seems it is producing more than that. Though not as much as people are making up. 5000 BPD is 210,000 gallons a day or 145 gallons per minute. Hardly even close to what fully open well pipe would emit. From the pictures on the news it would appear to be much less, but then there are also leaks in the horizontal manifold line not shown there.

Yes, I certainly think it is producing much more than that...based on independent expert estimates... You use the term "making up" rather loosely...there's a lot of science and engineering there you don't understand....Don't you think that if you can measure the velocity of particles in the out flow and knowing the diameter of the pipe a reasonable estimate can be made for various conditions??? .how did BP get the 5,000 number??? They've even stopped reporting how much the pipe withing the pipe is siphoning off...
