Quote #1: Federal estimates say between 35,000 and 60,000 barrels (about 1.5 million to 2.5 million gallons) of oil have been gushing into the Gulf daily since April 22, when the Deepwater Horizon oil rig sank in the Gulf, two days after it exploded in flames.

Quote #2: Allen said the new cap "would let us get to a capture rate of 80,000 barrels a day." Crews currently are capturing up to 26,000 barrels a day.

Where did they get the extra 20,000 from? Anyone else confused?

It's WAY more than they are saying.. ..and now the well has cracked and oil is seeping from multiple areas.. ..it's technically an oil volcano now, and they will not be able to stop it without an explosive charge, which will destroy any chances of them drilling there to recoup their investment (which they could have done from day 1), so they won't, until forced.

Word. Free oil for all the beach kids!

More like 100k or greater. Serious depth with incredible psi. If it were on land, you could maybe hear it 15 miles away like a jet engine pushing mach speed.
CNN? bleh. All the networks are fubar news engineers creating tails out or thin air.
