__**An Unforgettable Disaster**__

=
On April 20, 2011 eleven families lost a loved one in a terrible explosion that would go on and heavily affect many lives. Last year a deepwater oil rig exploded, killing eleven workers and pouring millions of barrels of oil to become one of the worst spills in history. The oil first reached the coasts of Louisiana and sunk in and floated on top of the water of almost the entireGulf of Mexico. About 200 million gallons of oil (Sutter) poured into the Gulf starting on that tragic day. So much money and research went on to try and stop the flow. People do not know exactly who is at fault. TheU.S.is blaming BP, but the CEO insists it was the builder of the rig (Brown). Whoever is at blame, there is money to be paid and water to clean. So, as you can see, the Gulf Oil Spill is the worst human-caused disaster in history because it affected many more people than any other human caused issues, hurt so many animals that did not deserve to be hurt, and cost so much of our countries, time and money that we needed for other important things. ====== = media type="custom" key="9696166" width="176" height="176" align="center"
