//﻿ // // An Oil Rig explodes. // That is what happened April 22, 2010. The gulf shore oil spill started killing by 11 people. The oil spill happened because British Petroleum (BP), a major gas producer only put one blowout preventer so the well was more likely to blow if the tank ruptured (article 4). “The great depth and attendant pressures and the learning curve that goes working within these new parameters, probably contributed to the initial leak” (article 8).There has not been a huge blow out since 1969, almost 40 years ago. The amount of oil was estimated to be 5000 barrels of oil and the spill lasted 11 days. BP made multiple attempts to stop the spill. It took them 4 months to stop the spill and millions of dollars (article 7).The oil spill started by an oil rig exploding killing 11 people that were declared dead three days after the explosion occurs. The gulf shore oil spill is one of the worst disasters in US history because lots of animals died, peoples lives where changed forever, and BP owed a lot of money and has been denied certain things. ﻿media type="custom" key="9696050" align="right"  back to 5th hour
