Gulf Coast Deepwater Horizon Blowout, Explosion & Oil Spill

On April 20th, 2010 an oil rig owned by Transocean, and leased by BP, suffered what appears to be a blowout. The blowout preventer (BOP), a mandatory safety device, did not function and failed to prevent the devastating explosion that eventually caused Deepwater Horizon to sink. Eleven seamen lost their lives in the explosion, and hundreds more are suffering physical and emotional trauma.

Despite public commitments to care for their workers, clean-up the oil spill and protect our environment - the lifeline of so many Gulf Coast communities - both BP and Transocean are making immediate legal moves to limit their obligations.
