It also marks the 10 year Memorial of the BP Deepwater Horizon disaster. On April 20, 2010, the BP exploratory rig Deepwater Horizon exploded, killing 11 workers and setting off the largest oil spill in U.S. history. Oil gushed from the seafloor for 87 days, ultimately spewing more than 200 million gallons of oil into the Gulf of Mexico. Sadly the disaster also killed up to 170,000 sea turtles, 150 dolphins and whales, and 800,000 birds. Share to help spread awareness. 💙 #savethefishies #sandcloud
