New photos of Deepwater Horizon in high-res apocalypse
We're all familiar with the images of the 2010 BP oil spill in the Gulf Of Mexico. However, I had not seen anything like these apocalyptic high resolution photos of the fire at the Deepwater Horizon until Reddit user joedamadman uploaded them. This puts into perspective how devastating the accident really was, killing eleven workers on the rig and causing the biggest offshore environmental catastrophe in U.S. history. It's also a reminder not much has changed: Drilling is proceeding as it was before the spill, and BP is drilling some of the deepest wells in Gulf waters right now while everyone looks the other way. Here are a few shots, check the rest HERE.
