Corporate Irresponsibility (The Gulf of Mexico Oil Spill).

The Gulf of Mexico Spill

The Bp disaster is an oil spill in The Gulf of Mexico which flowed for three months in 2010. It is the largest accidental marine oil spill in the history of the petroleum industry. The spill has caused extensive damage to marine and wildlife habitats as well as the Gulf's fishing and tourism industries.  The U.S Government has named Bp as the responsible party. Bp oil spill was a pattern of misconduct. This disaster was preventable. The corporate response to these disaster is far from responsible. While Bp has presented a bold public face, promising reparations to those whose lives were destroyed, the process to date has been fraught with avoidance and delay. Believe or not to those who lost jobs, businesses, and worse, compensation years from now is no compensation at all.
