Live Oil Spill Cam
BP has made available a link for the live cam of the oil spill.

http://globalwarming.house.gov/spillcam

The website loads very slowly for me and the video does not play for me. I am wondering how much oil is gushing out now now!

1. It just started working for me. I still see lots of oil gushing out.
I would say the picture should be clear enough to give scientists and estimate of how much oil is spilling.

7. From the CNN's feed it does not look like the spill has been stopped at all
5000 barrels a day my ass. This looks a whole lot worse.

9. Thank you. This one worked for me.
It doesn't even look like they put a dent in it.

6. Thanks.
I hope there will be many more cameras especially ones that can show where and how the oil is moving on the surface.
