[1]I thought I would take today to write about the state of the Gulf of Mexico due to British Petroleum's stupidity. Because they decided to tell the people on the oil rig to speed up progress, they became reckless and stressed and made a mistake. When the rig exploded, not only did it cause a HUGE oil spill, but it also killed 11 workers.
The oil has been confirmed "as far as 3,300 feet below the surface 42 miles northeast of the well site." The concentration of the oil gets less and less as it goes deeper but it also means that the animals and fish that are that deep are also bathing in crude oil. Birds who are in the water are also getting crude oil on them then (if they can fly) fly away trekking the oil wherever they go.
Many people who live on the coast fish for a living and now they can't make any money because the fish is bad. So, my question is will BP be paying restitution to the families of the dead AND the families who are losing money everyday because they can't do their jobs? I think they should.
