the deaths caused by the oil spill

11 people died in this tragic accident as well as the boat sinking. Because of this, BP may be blamed for the 11 deaths that occurred. Some employees that work for BP may also loose their jobs because of the major loss of oil.

The Oil Spill

On April 20, a rig crashed into a pipe containing millions of gallons of oil. the oil still continues to spill. they are having trouble controlling it. We worry that it will spread into the Keys of Florida and maybe into the great lakes. It may greatly effect the economy of many different countries such as Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean countries and the very north part of south America. If we can not stop it soon, it may become the largest oil spill to ever occur in American history.
