Really? How would they know? By looking at the video of the leak? That’s really all anyone had until they started capturing some oil. Oh and who cares anyway? BP is trying to stop the leak regardless of how much is coming out. They spent money to get to this oil, I’m sure they want to stop the leak and pump as much as they can to pay for this venture. That is what they do.
“That is what they do.” Yeah, and they’re so careful about it, too - NOT. They would rather try these half-a$$ed systems designed to “capture” the flow so they can market it, even if it means letting the environment of the Gulf be destroyed. But hey, they don’t care about American beaches - they’re British! (Or are they based in Switzerland now?)
These guys have been lying sacks of it since BEFORE this blow-out - their entire application was studded with more falsehoods than a Christmas ham is studded with cloves.
“Oh and who cares anyway?” Try the residents of every seaboard state from Louisiana to Maine.
