The BP oil spill of April 20, 2010 was the largest accidental oil spill in history. It caused many people to lose their jobs, unsafe beaches, and unedible fish. Since the oil spill, the oil left on the surface of the Gulf of Mexico has been collected and almost everything effected by the oil spill has been returned to its original state. Only a small amount of the Gulf of Mexico is still ruined because of the oil spill. The oil spill could have been prevented. BP violated many safety regulations, resulting in an explosion causing a loss of life and the oil spill that took a signigicant amount of time to fix. I think BP is handling the oil spill in a cooperative manner by taking full responsibility of the oil spill.

Nice job. I have to agree with everything you said since it could have been prevented but they seem to be doing a nice job taking responsibility for the cleanup.
