Ever since the Deepwater Horizon oil rig exploded last week, oil has been flowing into the Gulf of Mexico. The spill is estimated to be about 39 miles wide by 48 miles long. The spill has not yet reached land, but threatens huge areas of the coastline. Everyone is worried about what the effects of the disaster will have on the environment.
BP is making plans to contain the spill if the pipe cannot be fixed. The problem is that the spill is now so large it will be nearly impossible to clean up. The tides and wind will play a large role on what areas will be affected. I hope the crews working on the problem will do their best work now, a lot of people and animals depend on it!
