BP SPREADS BLAME
On April 20th eleven workers died and seventeen injured in the BP explosion in the Gulf of Mexico in which is one of the world worst offshore oil spill that lasted 3 months. After 4.9 million barrels of oil leaked into the sea , causing 10 billion dollars in damages killing and injuring many wild life. Many people lost business in tourism as well as the seafood industries. On July 15 it was finally capped, when they used a mixture of cement and mud that allowed hydrocarbons to leak in the well and now at this point they want to share the blame with the contractors. Focusing on series of mechanical failure, human judgments and engineering design. This oil is still in our water they sprayed our ocean with a chemical called PAH saying the amount is safe.

First of all, I would like to say PAH(phenylalanine hydroxylase) is bad for our environment and causes brain damage and as much that they used for the oil spilled, I would think it's not a safe amount. I think the BP executives should of been prepared for any type of disaster. They should just stop blaming others for this mess and be held responsible and charged. Its asset should be sold to pay for all the damages and the removal of the oil using the proper safety manner. This oil is on our American shores now which is the same water that touches all coastal nations and the chemicals are in our air. I haven't heard much on the news about this anymore and decided to look it up, it's really scary! This disaster will eventually affect us all in one way or another. Only time will tell.
