Uh Oh! The plot thickens.
Oil spill in Delta
State officials have spotted a "major" oil spill in the Venice area of the Mississippi Delta region, the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality said Friday.
In a written statement, the department said, "Two tanks, capable of holding 2 million barrels, appear to be leaking. Currently, there is no way to access the area."
It did not give the precise location of the spill. Venice is about 75 miles southeast of New Orleans.
