An explosion on the Deepwater Horizon oil rig that caused a massive oil leak with devastating effects caused by a simple mistake that should not have happened. in the first place.

BP's efforts to try to repair the well and the lack of options they had. available to create a block was really low and for a leak of this magnitude, there should have been a much better response to seal the well much earlier in an effort to save the environment. BP's main focus now should be to invest money in research to minimize the chances of this happening again by creating a definitive solution that is quick and easy to apply should it happen again. Efforts should be made to train workers so that they are able to better handle situations..
