Shocking...

House Representative (Democrat-Massachusetts) Ed Markey has released a BP internal document showing that the company's own early analysis believed the worst-case scenario could be the that the broken oil well was leaking 100,000 barrels a day.

The document states that "if the blowout preventer and the wellhead are removed are removed and if we have incorrectly modeled the restrictions – the rate could be as high as ~ 100,000 barrels per day up the casing or 55,000 barrels per day up the annulus."
