BBC Why do estimates of BP oil spill keep changing?


Boston Globe Oil spill approaches Louisiana coast
Late on the night of April 20th, 50 miles from the shore of Louisiana, a fire broke out aboard the Transocean Deepwater Horizon oil rig under lease by BP, with 126 individuals on board. After a massive explosion, all but 11 of the crew managed to escape as the rig was consumed by fire, later collapsing and sinking into the Gulf. Safeguards set in place to automatically cap the oil well in case of catastrophe did not work as expected, and now an estimated 5,000 barrels (over 200,000 gallons) of crude oil is pouring into the Gulf of Mexico every day - and could possibly continue to do so for months as complicated efforts are made to stop the leak.

Los Angeles Times blogs See Obama see the oil spill.
What are you doing over here reading about the oil spill's impact on the faltering Obama presidency when he spent the night on the Gulf coast to help distract your attention away from all the things that haven't happened during his watch over the nation's worst environmental disaster ever?

Две проблемы: то, что нефть течет (и, похоже, дырку хотели бы заткнуть так, чтобы можно было продолжать нефтедобычу, т.е. не навсегда, а это разные задачи), и вытекшая нефть.
