Can you believe that BP has no idea how much oil is being pushed up on its' own?
They want us to believe that when that oil platform was in operation that they had no idea how much flowed out in any given period. I find that hard to believe. Just in layman thinking I would find that to be a necessary ingredient for formulating certain operations. What do you think?
I maintain that during the operation and before the disaster an engineer can calculate a very good approximation of the quantity of flow within a given period of time and not the figures that we have been shown from the beginning of the disaster to the amounts we are receiving today. If engineers can come up with a quantitative figure as to how much oil is in a given area they can also arrive at a figure of flow.

Since the flow is impossible to measure (if you have a way to accurately measure the flow BP will pay you $$) I do feel that it is reasonable fo believe that BP cannot measure it.
In fact there are several groups working for the US government who cannot figure it out either.

I mean it just seems like the BP people are just kinda like ohh Obama will take care of it we don't have to worry...

they surely know. they know the width of that hole and the difference of pressure inside the hole and out of that. so it is very easy to calculate the volume of oil flowing out.
