BP oil spill is still leaking

BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico is posing a serious threat to not just BP financially but also to President Barack Obama whom many have accused of not taking proactive steps when the spill had begun.
It is around fifty days since the oil spill started in the Gulf of Mexico. We didn’t hear much from White House regarding the oil spill in the first two weeks of

Many thought that the spill was not as big as later revealed by scientists.

BP had initially said that only a very miniscule quantity of oil was spilling in the sea. It had said that only 1000 barrel of oil was going inot the sea from the ruptured oil pipeline.

But it was contested by scientists who put the oil gushing into the sea at 12000 barrel daily at the least. But right now around nineteen million barrels of oil is going into the sea and the top cap placement has been able to stop just a few thousand liters of oil into their ships from there.

This means that the remaining quantity of oil is still going down in the sea.

But even if the oil cap is able to stop even small quantity of the oil this is a major success for BP who has been facing uproar from all sides besides President Obama’s almost weekly rebuke.
