The Coast Guard reports that about 1,100 barrels a day are leaking from the BP well, located at Mississippi Canyon Block 252. The Transocean Deepwater Horizon had completed the well and was cementing the casing last week on Apr. 20 when the rig was crippled by an explosion and fire that some say may been caused by a blowout. On Friday evening, Coast Guard called off the search for 11 members of the 126-member crew.
