BP Oil Spill day 100

April 20th 2010 

Today July 28th marked the 100th day of the BP oil spill in the gulf the story started April 20th  when a ocean riser blew up. It killed 11 people. Then the oil started gushing out into the Gulf of Mexico. BP had tried these attempts to stop it : "Top Hat" "Top Kill" , a cap, and finally a better cap. That on around day  89 no oil leaked in the gulf  for the first time since April 19th.
Attacks and anger on BP happened including on the CEO of the British Oil Comany ,Tony Hayword, was ousted from day to day in U.S spill and now being transfered from CEO to a leader at BP Russia.   The economic impact may be worse  fishers in the gulf had to stop work  because of the spill and many other oil workers in the gulf had to quit due to stops on banning of oil drilling. Also due to beaches being closed there was really no one coming to the beaches due to fear of oil. On day 100 we are still waiting for the relief wells to finally happen and stop this all. Most of the oil has been degrading in the water due to natural processes.  Scares happend too including 2 tropical storms which gladly did nothing to the oil.

many beaches have been closed due to the spill.

So the work still has to be done to soon , maybe revive the gulf area which was hit by Hurricane Katrina in 2005 and now this almost 5 years later. The oil spill has cost a lot and it will continue.

Now here's a video  with more coverage  from CNN.
