BP Releases Oil Spill Video After Pressure From White House and Media

Source: ABC News

Twenty-three days after the explosion and under pressure from the White House and the media, BP today finally released a thirty second underwater video of the oil from its broken well spewing into the Gulf of Mexico.

The video shows the black plume of the oil and a white plume which industry experts said was natural gas escaping into the water.

BP said the video was released only today because the it had not received a request for the video until Monday. In fact, ABC News and other news organizations made numerous requests over the past few weeks for the video. When ABC News reporters were allowed into the BP command center last week, the monitors showing the video had been turned off.

1. Now, independent analysts can better estimate the rate of flow.

It will be interesting to see whether their estimates are near the 200,000 gallons a day that BP reluctantly admitted to.

3. One DU thread has the total at over 1 million gallons a day.

12. Only if they get pictures of the other leaks.

This may not be a main one?

2. Yep, there's a lot more oil GUSHING outta that thing than they've been saying

Somebody should be criminally liable in this one.

4. Remember, that pipe is reported to be five feet in diameter!!!

[LeftyFingerPop]

7. Do you have a source for that, Scuba?

Wikipedia says bore holes for wells are typically 5 inches to 36 inches.

[Scuba]

9. No, sorry. A quick Google search suggests the pipe may be 12 inches...

... guess I better not trust my memory.

10. note

the pipe is one thing... what about the bore hole that is around the pipe?

[LeftyFingerPop]

5. I sure would like to know the diameter of that hole.

Looks to me like "several" gallons per second.

They are lying about the amount per day.

[liberaltrucker]

6. I know what a leak is. I take several a day

THAT ain't a leak! It's a fucking environmental CATASTROPHE!

:banghead:

8. It's a frightening visual image. It makes you wonder just how far irresponsibility

can go and will get. I'm sure this is not the last of this kind of crap we will see. Profits and greed trump responsibility, honesty and integrity. It's an old saying, but exemplifies yet again that "money is the root of all evil."
