Deepwater Horizon

On April 20,2010 a oil rig exploded, killing 11 workers on the rig  and spilling tens of thousands of barrels of crude oil the Gulf of Mexico. The spill, which was estimated to be more than 130 miles long and 70 miles wide, has impacted the coastlines of Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi and Florida.  This impacted the animals more because that's where they live and get their food. This impacted the animals that live in the oceans because the oil went into their bodies and the oil destroyed their feather.
