On April 20, 2011, no one knew what horrible disaster was about to erupt. Deep in the cold, bitter waters of the Gulf of Mexico, BP’s oil rig, called the Deepwater Horizon, was about to set a new record. Without warning, the pipe suddenly burst, killing 11 workers on the rig. As much as 8,000 gallons start to spew out of the pipe a day, and Deepwater Horizon sinks 2 days later. The explosion on April 20, 2011 in the Gulf of Mexico devastated many people. BP should be in the heat for not inspecting their oil rigs correctly.
