Slicks of oil that spilled into California coastal waters from an onshore pipeline spanned a total of 9 miles Wednesday, and a company official said the line was operating at full capacity when it broke, suggesting much more oil escaped than initially estimated. Coast Guard Capt. Jennifer Williams said, "The oil that spilled Tuesday off southern Santa Barbara County formed two slicks." Before a morning flyover, the oil was estimated to span 4 miles of ocean. Company official Darren Palmer said, "it remained unknown how much oil actually spilled." The company took responsibility for the spill and would pay for the cleanup. http://yhoo.it/1JAJ36z http://bit.ly/1fJ5yqZ This video was produced by Wochit using http://wochit.com
