Continued…..
The oil spill, originating from a deepwater oil well 5,000 feet (1,500 m) below sea level, is discharging an estimated 5–25 thousand barrels(210,000–1,100,000 US gallons; 790,000–4,000,000 litres) of crude oil daily.
The spill is expected to eclipse the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill in Alaska as the worst US oil disaster in history.
Experts fear that it will result in an environmental disaster as the oil from the well site reaches the Gulf coast, damaging the Gulf of Mexico fishing industry, tourism industry, and habitat of hundreds of bird species.
