CURRENT EVENTS - BP Oil Spill

Read this Wikipedia article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deepwater_Horizon_oil_spill and this article from USA Today: http://www.usatoday.com/tech/science/environment/2010-06-09-1Aoilhowbad09_CV_N.htm. What are the possible ecological and economic consequences we will see for the next 20 years?

This is not the first oil spill on or near US shores. Research 3 others - list the websites used in your research and give a 2-3 sentence summary of what happened (oil spill) and how wildlife and industries were affected.

I belive the oil spill could have been prevented. there are check ups that could have been done before the ship was deployed. i belive that the people in charge could have taken the time to make sure that things were ready to go.

I think that the oil spill is crazy beacuse it shouldnt have happend i belive that they could have made sure this would never happend now that it happened it is killing the animals in the water because of pollution that makes the water very dirty and makes it so they can not breath at all so that means all the fisherman that come and fish cant keep there job up because the animals that he need are being killed because of the oil spill and i think they should try harder to fix the problem or i think it will effect the whole world.
