Oil spill 2010
BP has failed to manually shut the blowout preventer, and it could take three months to drill a relief well.

The pipeline from the Deepwater Horizon oil rig that exploded 80 kilometres offshore on 20 April and sank two days later has been spewing out a plume of crude oil at a rate of at least 5,000 barrels of oil (800,000 litres) each day.
