COMMENTS: 19, 50, 60, 80--Who’s Counting?
Remember the days when, at its worst, that seabed gusher might be leaking 19K barrels of crude each day? It was less than two weeks ago that Sharyl Attkisson of CBS was needling BP for "spinning the numbers" in order to minimize future pollution fines. Now NBC's Tom Costello reports on BP's plans to siphon off between 15K and 50K barrels each day from the partially-capped well. Yet the leak will still continue to pollute, since the current estimate of its daily volume is 60K barrels. Then Costello added that by mid July, BP plans to capture maybe 80K barrels each day: "It seems every week the estimates of how much oil is flowing go up." You can say that again.
