Gulf of Mexico Oil Spill Disaster- can we stop drilling ?
Introduction
The most visible and familiar form of pollution is oil pollution caused by tanker accidents or semisubmersible drilling platforms. A fire and explosion occurred at circa 11:00 PM, April 20, 2010 on the Deepwater Horizon, a semisubmersible drilling platform, with more than 120 crew aboard and 11 men was died.
Body
I - What this oil leak will do? How does oil spill influence local environment? Is it possible to avoid accidents? Improving the safety?
II- I will introduce how much is endangered Atlantic bluefin population declined because of oil leak and a bit about large colonies of dead coral found! Is oil spill dangerous for humans?
Conclusion
Can we stop drilling at all? Here I will give my point of view.
