Posted Wed Jun 16 2010: from Christian Science Monitor:
Oil spill could be Gulf's biggest ever, new flow estimate suggests http://apocadocs.com/s.pl?1276707817
BP's Deepwater Horizon blowout is spewing between 35,000 and 60,000 barrels a day, with up to 18,000 barrels currently being captured, according to a fresh estimate released this afternoon by the National Incident Command's flow-rate technical group. The new number is a revision -- and a significant increase -- of the estimate released last week, which pegged the flow rate at 20,000 to 40,000 barrels (840,000 to 1.68 million gallons) a day...By these new figures, the Deepwater Horizon blowout might have pumped as much as 2.7 million barrels into the Gulf.

There's probably some algorithm for taking these under-estimates and turning them into truth.
