Scientists say more Gulf oil flowing than thought

None

Scientists studying the blown-out well in the Gulf of Mexico now say it's leaking at least twice as much oil and possibly five times as much as original estimates.

 

US Geological Survey Director Dr. Marcia McNutt is the leader of a team put together to try to figure out how much oil is coming from the well. She says results are preliminary, but two teams using different methods determined the well is leaking at least 1.9 million liters a day.
