oil spill

The Oil Spill in the Mexico Gulf has been a terrible incident. On April 20, 2010 an oil rig working for a company called BP struck an oil pocket about one mile under the surface of the ocean. This coused millions of gallons of oil to pour out and leak into the ocean. As soon as possible they got a clean up crew down there and started to capture som of the oil that was rising to the surface. At first they didnt make much of it they thought it wasnt going to be such a big deal but they were wrong. As of the 27th of september it has oozed more then five times the guessed amount. as a result of all of this hundreds of animals that made there homes anywhere near the spill have died or had to find new homes. The oil spill has gotten better but it is still hard to know for a fact when its going to stop.
