I got a good laugh this morning when I read that they didn't close all the relief valves on the cap because with only one valve closed, it exceeded the 15000 barrel/day capacity of the ship it was attached to and they refuse to let anyone attach flow measurement devices to it.

This was a monster oil reserve and the flow is far greater than anyone has suggested. The oil may flow up the east coast in another month or so is my guess. They really should have nuked it (yes, I know the ramifications) shut weeks ago...
