(CNN) – BP is releasing new pictures of the oil gushing into the Gulf of Mexico. What used to be the Deep Water Horizon is now deep trouble for the environment.
Plumes of oil and gas are pouring from the damaged well. BP claims their latest fix captures about two fifths of the oil. That's prompted authorities to expand the federal fishing ban. It now covers more than 47,000 square miles.
We're seeing images of the threat this oil spill poses to wildlife. In this American Morning original report, our Rob Marciano sees first-hand the efforts to clean and release these animals.
