At the current rate of 42,000 gallons of oil per day, the leak would have to continue for 262 days to match the 11 million gallon spill from the Exxon Valdez in 1989, the worst oil spill in United States history.

Loo at the news they are quoting the coast guard. First it was not leakying.then it was and now they say it isn't.Since tehy were in the process of driling its likely it wasn't leakying but drilling mud or oil from the palatform itself.I'd be more concerned with the oil comig form those shipps transporting the imported oil really. Lok at the rigs hit i the hurricanes with no problems really.
