Latest news about the BP oil spill tell us that it is growing every singel day. But what have experts to say about this whole thing?
According to scientists the spill can grow up to 130 million gallons in the worst case scenario according to their calculations. Since April 20, if you sum up everything, the total spill is at 102 gymnasiums.
Despite of these estimations, it is not yet clear if this whole thing started last April 20, 2010 when it exploded or on April 22 when the rig sank into the water. Its also possible that it started April 24 when the coast guard first noticed two leaks.
On the picture which was provided by NASA, you can see the huge spill. Beside of the large patch, also a long ribbon like shape went to the southeast.
Currently there are even live streaming video feeds that show the progress of the oil spill.
