Live Feed of Oil Leak Released
Source: PBS

With oil now washing ashore along Louisiana's fragile coastline, BP reported Thursday it is now siphoning more than 200,000 gallons of oil per day from the leak site in the Gulf of Mexico.

Separately, the company complied with a request from Rep. Edward J. Markey, D-Mass., to show live video of the leak

Please click through and see the live feed. Oil gushing like crazy even with the pipeline sipping up that 5,000 barrels.

1. Our amazing technology can deliver that feed to people all over the world
But we're having such a hard time stopping the flow.

4. My thoughts exactly.
imo it's not that we can't - it's that BP just doesn't give a damn, ultimately.

2. BP is reckess, irresponsible and evil...
...and these are the chumps who paid handsomely to own our government
and operate in this reckless, disastrous fashion.

They've also got out Coast Guard taking orders from them.

Outraged enough yet?

5. Let's see now
5000 minus 5000 equals..........still lots and lots of oil coming out........gee maybe it was more than 5000 barrels gushing out of the well for a month

Liars, murders, throw the lot in jail today and let them sit in jail until the courts sort it out. 0 years later courts are still sorting out EXXon..that would be a good start for these sleeze balls. Halliburton, and the others can sit in jail also.

6. I find this catastrophe utterly gripping. Frightening, angering, depressing...
I can't stop checking here at DU and an 'oil spill' rss feed for the latest.

Thanks for posting.
