And alot of things are happening each day. So If you like to stay up-to-date you have to dig through a lot of news sites or RSS feeds to hear about the latest buzz.

They use some slide-over ads to get some money in which are sometimes a little bit annoying. But anyway it’s a great website to stay informed and you can even chose from different topics like science, culture, economy, technology and some more!

How to stay informed about the BP oilspill?
2
Worst case scenario
The explosion of the “Deepwater Horizon” drilling rig on April 20, 2010 triggered the worst oil disaster in the history of the United States. 11 workers died and 17 were injured at the explosion. Until BP managed to cap the gushing oil wellhead on July 15, 2010, 90 million to 180 million gallons of crude oil were released into the Gulf of Mexico.
