__The worst oil spill in the history of the world: __ __The gulf oil spill __ “60,000 barrels (40 gallons each) of oil were spewing into the Gulf of Mexico each day (Hamalainen).” This happened after the Deep Water Horizon, BP’s main oil rig, exploded and burned for days killing 11 oil workers (Mess). This disaster happened over a year ago and is still a big issue. The Deep Water Horizon probably wouldn't blow up if it wasn't for poor maintenance(wire staff). The disaster was both the boat owners BP's fault. This also wasn't BPs first issue with safety regulations. BP took some action but could have done more. The golf oil spill has a horrible effect on the environment and will never be completely gone because animals still need rescuing, water will never be oil free, and ecosystems will be damaged for years.
