BP had stuck by its first estimate that some 5,000 barrels, or 210,000 gallons, a day of crude was leaking from the well - despite claims from several experts that the figure was at least 10 times higher.
But BP spokesman Mark Proegler told news agency AFP on Thursday: "Now that we are collecting 5,000 barrels a day, it might be a little more than that."
I guess the game is hide as much as they can get away with from the public.
So true. BP now says it's getting 5000 Bpd form the 4 inch pipe. Given that that 4 inch pipe has ~5% the area of the 18 inch pipe it's inserted in, seems to want to tell us that perhaps the current estimate is a tad low.
One wonders if any of these people(BP, NOAA, CG, O admin) have an iota of self-respect. They certainly have no respect for 'us'.

So BBC news has this

The fact that they could make that statement and not be pinned to the wall until they offered a revised, credible estimate is just sad.
The footage shows a gusher despite the siphon pipe.
How could it be a "little" bit more than 5,000?
Ye gods.
