Here is the "100,000" source:

Coast Guard Commandant Adm. Thad Allen, "we lost a total well head: it could be 100,000 barrels or more a day."

I almost hate to ask this,
but has anyone here found an exact description
of how all this came to be?

Or how/why there is a second leak as well ?
(Pun NOT intended...)

I have read so many conflicting reports,
I simply don't believe most of them now.

Storm/boat/explosion/terrorism,
I've read so much speculation.

No exacting detail of the events
that led up to the first situation.

Even less about the second leak...

I have the general data that indicates fire,
then explosion, then sinking, then larger leaking.

It just seems light on facts about things to me.

Am I alone about wondering just
exactly what the truth is on this?

Thanks for any clarity on this.
