Government officials didn't think they needed to measure it because they thought the leak would be fixed quickly. they were hopeful. all that talk about planning for worst case scenario from day one, when it came to measuring, they weren't planning for worst case scenario. they were hopeful. as we learned in katrina, though, hope is not a plan. the stunning thing we learned today is that independent scientists contacted bp with ways to measure the leak as early as may 4th, a scientist named richard camilli offered in an e-mail may 4th imaging multibeam sonar technology to study a way to determ...

Each other with air rainfalls. they wanted to see if the shots would pen straetrate the skin o maybe just hurt a little bit. reminds of us this classic. >> i'm going to kill you. your hands are freezing. >> by the way, in case you're wondering, getting shot in the butt with an air rifle penetr e penetrates the skin. both men had to have the pellet surgically removed. for some reason only one of them has lost his firearms license. coming up, the thick sludge in the gulf. who is protecting the coastline? who is protecting the wildlife? is the government reporting or understanding the flow rate? ...

This bp document says, and i quote, an absolute worst case flow rate of 60,000 barrels a day was calculated. it goes on to say that a more likely worst case flow rate is 40,000 barrels. now, what is so stunning about this is not that the government estimate is now almost exactly what this apparently early bp estimate was -- i mean, that's stunning, but what's really damning is that bp never publicly said that they had an internal estimate of the flow rate. in fact, they repeatedly said they were focused on fixing the leak, not measuring it. for weeks, they publicly stated the lowest possible e...

Document was written, but it appears to have been written shortly after independent scientists began to make estimates of the flow rate based on that first video released of the spill back in early may. if early on bp estimated that 60,000 barrels might be pouring out of that well or even 40,000 and never once said that publicly, instead saying it's 1,000 biarrels or maybe, maybe 5,000 barrels, that would be another shocking example of bp's lack of transparency. representative steve scal ichis the brown pelican, state bird. if, in fact, bp early on had an internal estimate of 40,000 to 60,000,...
