Deep Water Horizon: Revisiting Worst Oil Spill in the US

Hollywood has once again taken movie lovers in a world of terror and pain as they portray the "real" events that occurred before and during the explosion of the offshore drilling rig Deepwater Horizon in the Gulf of Mexico.

According to the report from Forbes, Deepwater Horizon is an oil rig about 41 miles southeast of Louisiana Coast. It is owned Transocean under contract with British Petroleum (BP). On April 20, 2010, the Deepwater Horizon exploded, sending plumes high in the air and a barrage of oil and debris were spewed in the ocean. The tragic event, which is considered to be the worst man-made oil disaster in the U.S., took 11 lives and has a devastating impact in the environment.
