Summary:
As a result of the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig explosion on April 20, 2010, 35,000 to 60,000 barrels (1,500,000 to 2,500,000 US gallons) of crude oil per day has flowed into the Mexican Gulf, as estimated. It is one of the most serious ecological catastrophes in the history, and is turning into a political catastrophe for the US government and the owner of the drilling rig, the British Petroleum (BP).
