Oil Spill in Louisiana

Another oil spill was recorded in United States. The new oil spill occurs after a boat, which was pushing a barge, impinged into an oil well on Tuesday. However, a thin layer of oil has seen on the surface.

Admiral Thad Allen, the US Coast Guard chief, said the oil platform was surrounded by a sheen and a vapour that was probably a combination of oil and gas spewing from the well.

The well is located in Barataria Bay, Louisiana (Southern U.S.), 105 km south of New Orleans - installed two meter below the water. People saw the oil leak at 6ft. tall from the base of the well.
