    Default BP Oil Spill


    Fire boat response crews battle the blazing remnants of the off shore oil rig Deepwater Horizon April 21, 2010. A Coast Guard MH-65C dolphin rescue helicopter and crew document the fire aboard the mobile offshore drilling unit Deepwater Horizon, while searching for survivors April 21, 2010. Multiple Coast Guard helicopters, planes and cutters responded to rescue the Deepwater Horizon's 126 person crew.

    A mix of weathered oil and debris float in the Gulf of Mexico southwest of the Southwest Pass of the Mississippi River on the coast of Louisiana, Thursday, May 6, 2010.


    This image provided by NASA shows the tail end of the Mississippi Delta (top right) showing the oil slick in the Gulf of Mexico on May 5, 2010 was taken by International Space Station Expedition 23 flight engineer Soichi Noguchi.


    Eddie Soto, working with Resolve Marine Group, carries oil containment booms to the edge of Lake Pontchartrain on May 2, 2010 in New Orleans, Louisiana. Oil booms are being prepared at the edge of the lake to contain the approaching oil spill from the Deepwater Horizon wellhead which is still leaking an estimated 1,000 to 5,000 barrels of oil a day.


    Oil absorbing boom is loaded onto a barge in Venice, La., Wednesday, May 5, 2010. The barge will be used as a distribution point for local fishermen to lay the boom around sensitive marshes.


    Todd Lyons leans on rope while waiting to haul in a string of oil-absorbent pads on Wednesday, May 5, 2010 off the coast of Louisiana in the Gulf of Mexico.


    Workers on a shrimp boat haul in oil soaked containment booms as they are used with absorption pads to collect the oil on the surface of the water from the massive spill on May 5, 2010 in Breton and Chandeleur sounds off the coast of Louisiana.


    An oil boom snakes around Breton Island off the coast of Louisiana, Monday, May 3, 2010.


    U.S. Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar toured the Bon Secour National Wildlife Refuge Wednesday May 5, 2010 in Gulf Shores, Ala., helping BP contractors with ORC, Oil Recovery Company, by installing an oil retention boom along the lagoon.


    Workers unload oil boom lines to be laid by local fishermen May 4, 2010 in Hopedale, Louisiana. Many local shrimpers have been shut down but have been hired by British Petroleum (BP) to lay oil booms in sensitive areas.


    Booms covered with oil hang on the shrimp boat Mariah Jade in Breton Sound, La., Thursday, May 6, 2010.


    Dusty Chauvin watches as the Mariah Jade passes through a patch of oil dispersant Wednesday, May 5, 2010 off the coast of Louisiana in the Gulf of Mexico. After deploying the oil-absorbent pads, the crew would wait anywhere from five to 30 minutes before hauling them in.


    Workers at the Wild Well Control company work on a containment chamber that could be used to help contain the oil leaking from the Deepwater Horizon drilling platform in Port Fourchon, La., Monday, May 3, 2010. The chamber will be lowered onto the well and capture the oil that is spilling into the Gulf Of Mexico.


    The inside of the containment system that will be used to try to contain the Deepwater Horizon oil is shown in Port Fouchon, La, Wednesday, May 5, 2010. A 12-man crew was making final preparations to take a 100-ton contraption 50 miles off the Louisiana coast in an unprecedented attempt to help funnel out oil spewing from the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico.


    A crane prepares to lift a chamber that will be used to help contain oil leaking from the Deepwater Horizon oil drilling platform onto a barge in Port Fourchon, La., Wednesday, May 5, 2010. The box is the latest idea engineers from oil giant BP PLC are trying after an oil rig the company was operating exploded April 20, killing 11 workers.

    Least terns sit in their nests May 5, 2010 along the beach in Biloxi, Mississippi. The least tern is in its nesting season in one of the largest colonies on the Gulf Coast and is in the path of the oil spill from the BP Deepwater Horizon platform disaster putting the fragile colony in jeopardy. The nests are marked with red flags by the Mississippi Coast Audubon Sociey to warn people of their locations.


    Workers place oil containment booms around in the central marshes in St. Bernard Parish, La. on Monday, May 3, 2010.


    In this image released by the US Department of Defense (DoD), oil burns during a controlled oil fire on May 5, 2010, in the Gulf of Mexico off the coast of Venice, Louisiana. The US Coast Guard, working in partnership with BP PLC, area residents and other federal agencies, conducted the "in situ" burn to help prevent the spread of oil following the April 20, 2010, explosion on Mobile Offshore Drilling Unit Deepwater Horizon.
