More than two years after the Deepwater Horizon exploded in the Gulf of Mexico, Hurricane Isaac dredged up some of the oil BP conveniently buried on the ocean floor.
(CBS/AP) NEW ORLEANS - Laboratory tests show that globs of oil found on two Louisiana beaches after Hurricane Isaac came from the 2010 BP spill.
Tests run by Louisiana State University for state wildlife officials confirmed that oil found on Elmer's Island and Grand Isle matched the biological fingerprint of the hundreds of millions of gallons of oil that spewed from BP's Macondo well.
On Wednesday, BP PLC said oil from its spill had been exposed by Isaac's waves and that the company would work to clean it up.
It's still out there under the water and on the ocean floor, but unfortunately for BP it was exposed.
But, you know, the oiled was consumed in a smorgasbord of billions of microbes! It all disappeared like magic!
