Underwater plumes found 142 miles from BP well site

After six weeks of denials, understatements and dramatically incorrect data about the Deepwater Horizon gusher and its containment efforts, BP appears to have backed off from challenging the information given by independent experts.

After questioning the validity of reports that oil plumes had formed well below the Gulf of Mexico surface, the company is silent on a NOAA report that confirms a plume 3,300 feet under the surface located 142 miles southeast of the gushing wellhead. Another plume is reported to be 42 miles northeast of the well.
