The best new estimate, based on actual video of the gusher, seems to be
70,000 Barrels per Day (+/- 20% or 56,000 to 84,000).
That's
FOURTEEN TIMES worse than the previous estimate.
To put it another way: it is about
2.9 Million Gallons per Day -- it is already been bigger
in the first week than the Exxon Valdez...
The other two estimates also based on the actual video of the oil/natural gas spill range between 20,000 Barrels and 100,000 barrels a day, and at least 50,000 barrels.
