2 How it was caused The eight failures that caused the Gulf oil spill. Eight catastrophic failures led to the explosion that destroyed the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig in the Gulf of Mexico, killing 11 people and leading to one of the biggest oil leaks in history, according to BP's long-awaited investigation into the accident. Sep 8, 2010

3 The effects of the oil spill
Humans Animals Beaches were closed, businesses and restaurants closed because of the spill. Money is lost because of trying to clean up the spill. Almost 83,000 birds were harmed by the spill. “As many as 25,900 marine mammals may have been harmed by the oil spill to date”

The BP oil spill was located in the Gulf Of Mexico. The latitude is 28* 44’ 11.86” N and the longitude is -88* 21’ 57.59” W

5 How the spill fixed In the wake of the 2010 BP oil spill, cleanup crews dumped some 1.8 million gallons of chemical dispersants into the Gulf of Mexico. ...
