About a week ago there was an major oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. The barrels that fell in and are leaking is said to fill an Olympic size swim pool in the matter of three-days.
Tons of oil is being wasted and more importantly, the 100,000 of different species that are living in these waters are being highly effected.
What happened was the barrels exploded and oil barrels fell in. The hose that connects the ocean floor to the barrels were designed to close itself off if anything happens. But the designers of this method weren't ready for the explosion.
When looking at pictures and videos you can see the red/burgundy residue from the oil spill that has risen from the bottom of the ocean.
Earlier today it was said the the oil has reached the shore, and this can cause even more problems for wild life that live around the shores.
The oil drilling is coming to a break and will not be drilling any more until they get this problem fixed.
As a person who wants the natural habitat to stay the same for the animals, it really does break my heart knowing that we are causing them so much stress. After all, they were here first. I hope they clean up as much as they can and I hope the animals that are living the the Gulf of Mexico are going to be okay.
:"(
That's all for today. More Tomorrow!
