OIL SPILL IN THE GULF OF MEXICO In 2010 an oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico exploded killing 11 workers and injuring 17. This explosion started rapidly injecting oil into the waters of the gulf. This oil well was putting oil into the gulf for about 46 days. This oil spill has killed about 220 sea turtles and 175 dolphins. The gulf shore oil spill was one of the biggest off shore oil spill inn the U.S. It took hundreds of people to help clean up the mess and cost the U.S. government and BP thousands of dollars. The well that had broken had to be replaced but took a long time to do so. But the oil spill was all BP’s fault The gulf shore oil spill has affected the numbers of animals living in the area due to their death; it has physically and mentally injured the survivors of the oil rig explosion, but the cleaning up of the oil has also caused sickness in the people cleaning up oil.
