On April 20, 2010, an oil rig owned by Transocean and leased by British Petroleum (BP) exploded, killing 11 and injuring many others. Unfortunately, there are more short-term and long-term consequences that the people living on the Gulf Coast will have to face. The oil spill will cost billions of dollars in clean up, loss of business activity, lost of income, devastation to wildlife and the environment.
The BP Oil Explosion in the Gulf of Mexico has resulted in one of the most significant environmental disasters of all time. The impact of the explosion is much greater than initially thought as it is now believed that up tp 25,000 barrels of oil are leaking into the Gulf of Mexico each day.
