The Times-Picayune reported Wednesday:
An overflight inspection of the BP Deepwater Horizon disaster site 40 miles south of Grand Isle this past weekend found a new, mile-long oil sheen, which has prompted the U.S. Coast Guard to again require BP to inspect the wellhead and debris area on the floor of the Gulf of Mexico with a remotely operated vehicle for the source of the oil. The flight was piloted by Bonny Schumaker, founder of the California-based non-profit On Wings of Care, which has conducted surveillance flights in the Gulf in the two years since the spill.
So much for BP’s “leaking cofferdam” theory.
Note: The new leak from BP’s site is totally separate from the explosion on a different drilling platform in the Gulf which recently killed several workers and leaked oil into the water.
Absolutely nothing has changed since the 2010 spill, and so more and more destructive oil spills may occur. Former EPA officials and attorneys put it: BP will “kill again”.
I think you might have two Oil Spills confused. There is an active spill going on in East Bay, about 20 miles south of Grande Isle, in Jefferson Parish. it was first reported after a rig accident killed two, with two missing and two in critical condition. At first, they contended there was no spill, but now a spill is evident.
BP’s Macondo Well is also still leaking but is it located about 40 miles Southeast of the Mouth of the Missississpi River and has been having new sheens appear since September 16, as long as 10 miles and our government is allowing them to continue carpet-bombing the environment with Corexit despite everything we know about its deadly health effects.
