BP oil spill: The economic and environmental cost, 5 years later

On April 20, 2010, the Deepwater Horizon oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico, which was owned by Transocean and leased by British energy giant BP, exploded and started spilling oil into the sea.

Eleven workers died and 17 were injured, and it took 87 days to cap the well and stop the flow of oil.
