^ Bird covered in oil due to BP oil spill in April, 2010
The oil spill in April 2010 was threatened to be one of the biggest environmental diasasters in decades, threatening various species including fish and birds.The leak from the ocean floor proved to be far bigger than initially reported, contributing to a growing sense among m.any in Louisiana that the government failed them again, just as it did during Hurricane Katrina. People starting complaining that the goverment lied to them and they only said about 1,000 barrels were leaked when in reality, as much as 5,000- 200,000 were leaked everyday. After all of this discussion, and people becoming disappointed, Obama directed officials to aggressively confront the spill, but the cost of the cleanup will be on BP.
