Description
Huntington Beach and Newport Beach, south of Los Angeles, are closed after about 480,000 litres of oil leaked into the Pacific Ocean washing up on the shores causing "substantial ecological impacts" says local authorities. It was not immediately clear what caused the spill, but the local Orange County Supervisor believes it was a pipeline breach connected to an oil rig offshore. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
