The Tragedy In The Gulf Of Mexico
By now, everyone has heard of the environmental nightmare that is currently unfolding in the Gulf of Mexico. The Deepwater Horizon oil platform was owned and ran by Transocean, on behalf of BP, one of the largest energy companies on earth. On April 20 it exploded, about 20 hours after Halliburton cemented the well head into place, killing eleven crew members. Since then it has left at least 5,000 barrels of oil a day spewing from the blown-out well underneath into the Gulf.
