Oil Spill Containment Dome Delivered
A massive containment dome arrived at the site of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico on Thursday. By Monday, BP hopes the 4-story tall iron funnel will start containing approximately 85% of the oil being released.
Oil Spill Threatening Local Wildlife and U.S. Coastline
Oil continues to rush into the Gulf of Mexico and efforts to curb the flow have failed repeatedly. The massive oil slick grows by approximately 5,000 barrels each day and seems to have already harmed local wildlife.

Burning Oil in the Gulf of Mexico
The oil spill spreading in the Gulf of Mexico has reached a point approximately 20 miles off the coast of Louisiana; attempts to stop the leak at its source have so far failed. In response, a large portion of the surface oil will be contained and burned to avoid more harm to animals and the surrounding environment.
