5000 gallons a day are leaking from that well. Every day, for as long as humans have been on the Earth, 5000 gallons of oil leaks from the floor of the Gulf of Mexico into the ocean. Mother Nature cleans that mess up just fine. Quit freaking out people.
5000 barrels, not gallons. That is 210,000 gallons a day. Before you tell people to stop freaking out maybe you should learn the facts. This is very serious to the people on the gulf coast.
