The British Petrol, also known as BP oil spill is a huge event. This oil spill had affected many countries, animal and people. Thus, in this post, I am going to post my thoughts about this oil spill.
I find that the BP oil spill is very destructive. The oil spill first started with an explosion under the sea killing and injuring 28 people. Then, the oil led to pollute the waters of the sea, specifically, the gulf of Mexico first. If the oil pollutes the water, it will definitely affect the animals within the sea, killing them. If a huge amount of animals is killed quickly within a specific area, it will definitely affect the Eco-system. The oil will also affect us, humans. The fishes will get poisoned by the oil, killing it and when the fisherman captures the fishes for us to eat, we will get food poisoning, affecting us. Even if the oil is cleaned up, there may still be oil lurking beneath the surface of beaches and sea beds, affecting marine organism that burrow like hermit crabs, starfish etc. etc. The BP oil spill is so bad that it leaks 100,000 barrels of oil into the sea every day. It leaks so fast that within 3 days, it spread to 580 square miles, within 9 days, the oil spread to the Mississippi Delta.
This shows how quick it spreads, how deadly it is and how it could affect almost the whole planet. This is my thought about this oil spill.
