NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 11 (UPI) -- An oil sheen above the site of a sunken drilling platform is from the blown-out well that soiled much of the Gulf Coast in 2010, Coast Guard officials said.
The sheen was reported to the Coast Guard on Sept. 16 by BP, which was using the Deepwater Horizon platform when it caught fire and sank two years ago, leading to a massive oil spill, The (New Orleans) Times-Picayune reported.
