Now you may think, that the oil spill has since stop, well you're wrong! The oil, that kept pouring out from the underground reservoir has not seen any evidence of stopping. To date, it is estimated that 125 millions barrel of oil has been pouring out since the accident!
After 2 months, it has finally reach the coastal area, and are now threatening the wildlife and also affect all the people that live and work around or near the gulf's coast. This, as many scientist and people said, is the worse environmental disaster of all time, and I have to concur.
BP and the US government have done a lot in containing the oil inside, but with no clear result, one outlandish solution is to build a massive dome and put it on top of the crack where the oil seep through..see here and here, how crazy is this?!
Here are some photos that were taken after 2 months of the oil spill that reach the coastal area, that shows the deadly consequences of human's need for more oil
