Explosion of Havoc

The BP Oil Rig Exploding



Oil Covered Hands

 As we all know oil spills can be and are extremely destructive. The BP oil gusher exploded taking 11mens lives and injured 17 others. The 11 bodies were never found. Think of their heart broken families. Getting a phone call saying your husband or dad will not be coming home from work. It would be devastating. All those families were greatly impacted from this accidental oil spill that left so much havoc in its wake.  After the BP Oil Spill you think we would have learned a lot from it. But oil spills continue to occur around the world. Do we not learn anything from these disasters?  Many workers who were helping clean up the oil and residence living along the coast said they experienced headaches, dizziness, vomiting, nausea and chest pain from the oil. Tragedies like the BP Oil Spill can cause mental health problems for some people as well. Many people experienced personal and financial hardships after the spill. Humans were and can be harmed by eating contaminated aquatic animals. Some fish are still struggling to survive with the effects of the BP Oil Spill and we could be eating contaminated ocean animals.  Long term effects from the HUGE BP Oil Spill are still undetermined. Let’s just hope it is nothing too serious, or we could be in a   ton of trouble!       ~Chelsea
