Deepwater Horizon oil spill
The Deepwater Horizon oil spill (also referred to as the BP oil spill, the Gulf of Mexico oil spill, the BP oil disaster, or the Macondo blowout) is an oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico which flowed unabated for three months in 2010. It is the largest accidental marine oil spill in the history of the petroleum industry.
The Coast Guard sent a testy letter to BP that said the companyneeds to get with it and show a plan to contain the spill by the time President Barack Obama arrives on Monday.
The government has started acting like it wants to guard the coast and demanded that BP get real containing the oil gushing into the Gulf of Mexico by the end of the weekend, telling the British oil giant that its slow pace in stopping the spill is becoming increasing evidence of reckless and wilfull disregard for the financial health and rights of others. the disaster fouled the coastline in ugly new ways Saturday.

The letter, released Saturday, follows nearly two months of tense relations between BP and the government and reflects growing awareness of BP's unwillingness to stop the largest environmental disaster in U.S. history.

The dispute escalated on the same day that deadly new signs of the tragedy emerged on the beaches of Alabama. Unsightly brown streaks hit the shores in Orange Beach, leaving stinking, dark piles of oil that dried in the hot sun and extended up to 12 feet from the water's edge for as far as the eye could see.
It was the worst hit yet to Alabama beaches. Tar-like globs have washed up periodically throughout the disaster, but until now the Gulf has been able to avoid barfing the toxins onto the human realm.
