The April 20 explosion of Deepwater Horizon, the British Petroleum offshore oil rig killed 11 workers and is already one of the worst ecological disasters in U.S. History. While a full investigation is required before blame can be officially assigned, the oil leak’s impact is undeniable: the costs will reach into the tens of billions of dollars.
The negligence of BP and the oil rig company it hired has endangered individuals and businesses across Alabama’s coastline. Furthermore, this is not the first time BP has been in trouble.
- The company was fined $87 million after a refinery in Texas exploded in 2005, killing 15 people and injuring 170.
- BP incurred about $20 million in fines as a result of oil spilled from a pipeline on Alaska’s North Slope in 2006.
- Again on the North Slope, BP was fined $2 million in 2009 for operating without the proper safety equipment at oil fields.
