Infographic of the Week: The Evolving Estimates Of BP’s Oil Leak

via tpm

Simple but effective visualization of the original lie told by BP and the feds about how much oil was leaking vs. the reality as it has proven itself.

In a sane world, the 60X error between the shit BP was shoveling on 5/24 and the current estimate of 60,000 barrels/day would be enough to convict some of the top BP executives of a crime. But in our sick and twisted reality, the willingness to lie like that is more likely grounds for promotion.
