INT MS in remote interview United States Coast Guard (USCG) Retired Commandant Admiral Thad Allen, National Incident Commander of the Unified Command for the British Petroleum (BP) Deepwater Horizon oil spill says "I've cautioned everybody from the start to be careful about estimates because we're looking at two dimensional video. We're actually establishing a group, it's been working for well over a week now, called Flow Rate Technical Group. We're collecting sensor data from different platforms bringing it all together aggregating it in one place to see if we can come up with an actual flow rate. We're probably about I'd say 24-48 hours out from being able to come up with our first estimate. There are obviously going to be a lot of caveats associated with it, but we've got the best minds in the Government, Private Sector and Academia on it right now"
