About a month ago there was a oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. The company responsible for this is British Petroleum or BP. They were drilling a hole to pump the oil,then suddenly the oil rig exploded. Many are worried that the oil will reach to the major oceans and also to the keys in Florida. BP has been trying to clean up the oil spill in several ways, but they have a major plan that could possibly end the disaster.
Many animals are in trouble because of the oil spill, and fishermen and shrimpers are worried. There are some people who are cleaning the animals, but the effects are huge. This is one of the biggest oil spills in history. They estimate that 210,000 gallons of oil per day has been gushing out.
They have been cleaning up the oil , by using chemicals and fires, and they have also clogged one of the oil tubes. However there are still more tubes that are spilling out oil. Clogging the tube is a difficult job because the tube that has the oil is a mile under the water.
