On April 20, 2010, an explosion occurred on the Deepwater Horizon rig and it caught fire. Eleven people are missing after the incident, 17 workers were injured and 7 of them were then taken to the hospital. Support ships sprayed the rig with water in an unsuccessful bid to douse the flames. Deepwater Horizon sank on April 22, 2010.

  • why are they depicting this animation as the Deep Water Horizon? The Horizon was a semi submersible, not a tension platform rig. Once again "experts" who aren't experts.

  • Were you? I don't need to be directly affected by something to have an opinion on the matter thanks.

  • @stroypa so you were directly affected by either? No? So shut the fuck up.

  • @missionaryoffaith And what part of that do you not agree with then?

  • @bottzxl32

    good point

  • @stroypa

    u need to do your home work nice try though

  • @RuiverKenny yeh well exxon valdez was much worse than this. It hasn't actually affected the marine life that much anyways. Fish can just swim away from the oil, it's mainly the things that live in the coast that are affected the worst because they can't get away from it. In some ways this has been positve because with the fishing ban fish stocks have been able to recover slightly.

  • @stroypa

    and what about all oceanic life turning up dead on the shores??

  • @bottzxl32 because it's not a fucking humanitarian disaster that's why! some people are out of work for a while, and they'll be compensated so why would anyone need to do a benefit gig? Were their homes destroyed? Are they starving? Do they need medical treatment? NO so shut the hell up you fucking idiot. You can't compare something like this to the haitian earthquake.

  • WHERE ARE THE ENVIROS AND THEIR LOBBYISTS LAWYERS...

    THESE CROOKS SHOULD PAY FOR THE GULF 2010 OIL CLEAN Up
