Oil leak test burn in Gulf of Mexico

DateThursday, April 29, 2010 at 1:51PM

This image show vessels sweping some oil into a fire-resistant boom for a "test burn".

The US Coast Guard says five times as much oil as previously thought could be leaking from a well beneath where a rig sank in the Gulf of Mexico last week.

Rear Admiral Mary Landry said 5,000 barrels (210,000 gallons) a day were now thought to be gushing into the sea 50 miles (80km) off Louisiana's coast.
