FRONTLINE | "The Spill" Trailer | PBS

http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/the-spill/ FRONTLINE and ProPublica examine BP's corporate culture and follow the trail of problems that lead up to the disaster in the Gulf. Watch "The Spill" on PBS Tuesday, Oct. 26.

Long before the Deepwater Horizon explosion in the Gulf, BP was widely viewed as a company that valued deal making and savvy marketing over safety, a "serial environmental criminal" that left behind a long trail of problems -- deadly accidents, disastrous spills, countless safety violations -- which many now believe should have triggered action by federal regulators. Could the spill have been prevented?

Through interviews with current and former employees and executives, government regulators, and safety experts, FRONTLINE correspondent Martin Smith joins with the investigative non-profit ProPublica to examine the trail that led to the disaster in the Gulf. From BP's vast oil fields in Alaska to its refineries in Texas and its trading rooms in New York and London, the film raises new questions about whether BP's corporate culture will finally be forced to change.

Watch "The Spill" on air and online beginning Tuesday, October 26 at 9 pm ET on PBS (check local listings) and online at http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/the-spill/

I watched and is sad to know that our government is not going to pass laws to change this scenario from happening again.

We need Ted Roosevelt or people like him with passion and determination to make a law for the land to never allow this to repeat in our time.
