墨西哥灣發生石油泄漏事故? Gulf Oil Spill

2010年春夏，墨西哥灣發生石油泄漏事故，至少400萬桶原油從英國石油公司的深海鉆井臺流入海中。盡管進行了油污清除工作，但是大量的油污仍然擴散到峰值68000平方英里的海域中。數不清的海洋生物、野生動物和該地區居民的生計都將被影響數年。

Despite the cleanup efforts, the flow of oil spread across an area of 68,000 square miles of water surface at its peak and impacted an untold number of marine life, wildlife and the livelihoods of regional residents for years to come.
