About this Episode

The Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill is considered one of the worst environmental disasters in history. Occurring in April 2010, even now, experts are still unsure just how extensive the damage to the local flora and fauna has been.

Tune into this episode to find out how the disaster was triggered by a sudden outburst of natural gas, which unfortunately resulted in the platform of the oil rig igniting, and tragically claiming the lives of 11 workers and causing injuries to 17 others.
