On the two-year anniversary of the Deepwater Horizon disaster, investigative journalist Greg Palast reports that British Petroleum concealed a nearly identical oil rig blow-out that occurred in 2008 in the Caspian Sea, in order to get permission for deep-sea drilling in the Gulf of Mexico. Had BP revealed the disaster, Palast says, the eleven Gulf workers who died on April 20, 2010 might be alive today.
