How to stay informed about the BP oilspill?
Jul 29th
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.
How to stay informed?
Due to the massive amount of information which mainstream news media spread, people all over the world watch and comment this horrible event.
