The devastation of Deepwater Horizon from above: Mesmerizing photos show Gulf’s 210 MILLION gallon oil slick

6

In the spring of 2010, an oil rig exploded in the Gulf of Mexico, unleashing untold amounts of crude oil into the water’s fragile ecosystem.

At the time, there were numerous pictures of oil-slicked turtles and birds – a reminder of the sheer havoc the incident wrought upon the environment.

Now a new set of pictures has been released showing the slick from above, taken by photographer Daniel Beltrá, who documented the spill from a Cessna floatplane, 3,000ft above the Louisiana coastline.

The April 20th, 2010, explosion at BP’s Deepwater Horizon rig killed 11 workers, injured 17 more and caused nearly 50,000 barrels of oil per day to spew into the gulf.

The well went unplugged for nearly three months, causing the largest accidental marine oil spill in the history of the petroleum industry.

These photos are a grim reminder of the real damage that can be caused by such massive oil spills but also show the beauty that can be seen as man and nature try to repair the damage done.

‘SPILL’ by Daniel Beltrá is published by GOST Books.

Two ships monitor a controlled burn from oil that was spilled from the wellhead. To aid in clean-up efforts, 5,300 vessels of opportunity were hired from around the area

The spill sent 210m gallons of oil into the Gulf of Mexico, causing a black tide covering 68,000 square miles of ocean and spreading along 16,000 miles of coastline

    They spray chemicals that makes the oil sink ,so most of it is on the bottom now just think about the gulf stream it goes north and more towards Europe right by the Azores islands & toward britain & Ireland . But BP say’s its all cleaned up . Well if you can’t see it above the water does’t mean it isn’t there underneath soon washing up on the beaches all over the place mostly in Europe some will come to US beaches and BP is allowed to drill in the same area in the gulf ?? You got to be kidding me .kick them out of there before it happens again.

  3. carl says:

    this is a glaring example of greed and incompetency ,our government has yet to explain clearly what the state of the gulf is now ,show proof and explain ongoing efforts to prevent this in the future.BP is still allowed to do their work here and yet how have they learned from this .We need a presentation by the congress and white house explaining this now.

    That being said and now Fuku-nuke has spread to the west… what the banking dynasty going to do next? Ignite Yellow Stone?

  5. 5 War Veteran says:

    These “oil slicks” are still being seen today and BP is still spraying corexit every night under the secrecy of darkness. The complete destruction of an ECO system and the toxic polluting of the remaining sea life. The destruction of the gulf stream as witnessed by the extreme winters over the UK and northwards.
    While the BP elite sit fat and happy smiling over their succeeding in killing off millions of stupid Americans in the after math with disease and illness.
