The Gulf Oil Spill
On April 20, 2010, an explosion occurred on the offshore drilling rig Deepwater Horizon in the Gulf of Mexico, killing 11 rig workers and injuring 17 others. On April 24, 2010, the Coast Guard discovered the wellhead was damaged and was leaking oil into the Gulf of Mexico. This massive spill poses a serious threat to wildlife, affecting as many as 400 species along the coastal areas of Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida; the environment; and the livelihood of the men and women who work in and around the affected areas.
Since the time of the accident, hundreds of lawsuits have been filed by businesses, individuals and investors.
