1/2 to 1 MILLION barrels a day were gushing out (BP's initial bs "estimate" was 5000 barrels a day!), which will negatively alter the life of the sea and eventually the entire planet, for the rest of our lives, and beyond.
If investigations prove the cause of this (and the death of 11 men on the rig) was BP's sheer greed, then I hope the company is bankrupt by lawsuits in return, and that criminal charges are brought as well.
Imagine what the Chinese govt would do to them if BP was CP...
When referring to 1/2 to 1 million, I believe the reports have switched to gallons vice barrels, whether for convention or shock value. This compares to BPs inital report of 210,000 gallons a day.
