Just remember, the NOAA scientists are the same ones who, for over a month said the flow rate from the well was around 5K barrels a day. Then an outside scientist spent about ten minutes studying a choppy 30 second video clip and determined the flow to be around 70K barrels a day, which is close to what the agreed upon number is now which is around 60K/day.

So the NOAA was only off by what? 1000% or so?

NOAA has a track record of downplaying or underestimating this thing from the start. Not sure why to believe them now.
