Résumé
On April 20, 2010, disaster struck in the Gulf of Mexico - the offshore oil rig Deepwater Horizon exploded, causing one of the worst environmental catastrophes in American history. More than a million gallons of oil leaked into the water… each day for months, as the oil company BP tried to stop it and scientists and emergency response crews tried to repair the damage. What caused this disaster and how can we stop it from happening again? Learn the answers to these questions and more as you find out about the oil spill, relief efforts, and the future of energy use.
