BP 'very pleased' with progress on capping gusher

Pensacola, Florida (CNN) -- As oil drifted onto beaches as far east as the Florida Panhandle, a BP official said Saturday the company was pleased with its operation to funnel crude up from the ruptured undersea well to a drilling ship a mile above on the Gulf of Mexico.

BP Senior Vice President Bob Fryar said the company funneled about 250,000 gallons of oil in the first 24 hours from a containment cap installed on the well to a drilling ship on the ocean surface.

"That operation has gone extremely well," Fryar said at an Alabama news conference. "We are very pleased."

That's about 31 percent of the 798,000 gallons of crude federal authorities estimate is gushing into the sea every day.

The company's progress was not enough to temper the frustration seething among residents along the coastline.

2. I am going to take my car to BP, put in 10 gallons of gas, tell them

I will pay for 3.1 gallons and that they should be "very pleased." How much do you want to bet they will call the cops?

Useless, planet destroying motherfuckers.
