An oil leak in the Gulf Of Mexico threatening the coast of Louisiana, Texas and the Mississippi estuary is five times worse than previously thought.

The oil is spewing from a rig that exploded and sank last week.

It is now estimated that 5,000 barrels a day are spilling into the ocean rather than the 1,000 the US Coast Guard previously announced.

The woman leading the response is Rear Admiral Mary Landry of the US Coast Guard.

"Initially we agreed the estimate was 1,000 barrels per day; working with NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) daily with overflights, applying disbursements, looking at the trajectories, where the oil going," she said.

"However, NOAA is telling me now they prefer we use 5,000 barrels a day as an estimate for what's actually leaked from this well and will continue to leak until BP secures the source."

Complicating matters for BP and the clean-up crews is that previously it was thought there were two leaks - now there are reports of a third.
