Worst Oil Spill Since 1989: Desperate Measures

Hi everyone!

Here's an article from the Internet which concerns many environmentalists around the world. An explosion in an oil tanker has caused about 200,000 gallons of oil to flow into the ocean in the Gulf of Mexico every day! As a last desperate attempt, a dome has been planned to be submerged underwater to cap the oil discharge from the Deeowater Horizon oil rig. Residents from Texas to Florida are anxiously awaiting the outcome of the perilous operation as failure would mean the crude will continue to gush for three months until a relief well is drilled, putting the livelihoods of coastal communities at risk.

I think that whoever had caused this must pay for his actions, as this has disrupted the natural ecosystem of the ocean, and may result in the extinction of several marine species. Worse, fisherman who depend on them for life, may find themselves jobless, and the world? Runs out of trout.
