I can't believe they are still parroting that 5000 BPD lie... They injected the equivalent of 115.000 BPD twice as heavy as oil drill mud, into the well and that didn't stop the flow. That means that probably more than 250.000 BPD is escaping into the ocean. That is one Exxon Valdez every day. And the situation is likely to get worse, as the BOP collapses...

Why the hell are they blatantly sugar coating this?
