Salazar was asked about the news of a second spill, and Salazar said that

He wouldn't know?

I found it online.

CNBC was reporting that this new leak originated from a production platform that was destroyed by an underwater mudslide in 2004, when Hurricane Ivan slammed the area.

But what’s a little less clear is how long this leak, which is still producing around 14 gallons a day – roughly a car tank’s worth – has been belching oil into the open ocean.

Just sounds crazy to me. Not that there is a second leak, as satellite images have shown, but that this leak is only 14 gallons a day.

Earlier we published speculation from satellite analytics group SkyTruth that there may be a second leak in the Gulf. A freelance pilot and photographer confirmed these rumors and a possible coverup.
