The headline of the article in "Gulf of Mexico oil spill sparks new US drilling ban".It is an article from "BBC".
The article was written the 30th April of 2010 by Paul Adams.
The article focuses on a catastrophe that could become more the biggest oil disaster, indeed, the April 20, of 2010, a platform of the energy giant british BP Deepwater Horizon, situated in the Gulf of Mexico, which the well is located 50 miles (80km) from the coast and to 4.900 feet (1.500m) depth.
Sank Thurday, two days after a massive explosion followed by fire, causing a gigantic oil spill estimated at 3.850 sq. miles (9.900 km²).
This cloth which grows, feeds 5.000 barrels (820.000 l) that gush every days, threatening the Louisiana coast.
Eco-system and sinners of Louisiana, barely recovered from the storm Katrina, are again the victim of a disaster.
Bad weather conditions do not facilitate the work of emergency workers and nearly 300 ships and aircraft, in fact, strong winds could bring the petrol in many streams, ponds and lakes of southeast of Louisiana.
To limit damages, the dispersant are sprayed by aircraft from U.S. AIR Force and by BP, 1 million feet (304km) of floating boom have been deployed, portions of the cloth have been inflamed and robot submarines have been sent to stop the leak but so far no success.
To my mind, the tanker group has not taken seriously enough the risks accidents on an oil platform and now that the disaster happened, they have at their disposal that means derisive that can not prevent the ravages of the black tide.
