Unreal Engine puts BP disaster into perspective [AMAZING VIDEO]

That doesn't add up. The video said there were 25000 barrels, and the description said it was 15000 feet tall. It looked like the tower was 6 barrels square, meaning there would be 695 levels... so the barrels are 21 feet tall?

At the end of the video it looked like there was a central pillar, so the barrels were only around the outside. That means there'd be 20 barrels in each level (and the video would be very misleading), and each barrel would still be 12 feet tall.

You know what's really crazy? US petroleum consumption is about 20 million barrels per day. If you think what is flowing into the gulf is bad, think about what we're putting into the atmosphere.

this.

i don't think there's a central column... i think those are just barrels that didn't topple over. the ones at the top did.

edit: nevermind, i'm wrong. there's a central pillar... but, also, there's a lot of space between the rows of pillars. it's like the barrels are stacked barrel-air-barrel-air-barrel.
