In the seventh episode of 5 Minute Disasters, we explore the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, one of the most devastating environmental disasters in recent history. In just five minutes, we’ll explain the events of April 20, 2010, when the Deepwater Horizon oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico suffered a catastrophic blowout, resulting in the release of nearly five million barrels of oil over 87 days. This spill had devastating effects on marine ecosystems, local industries, and communities along the Gulf Coast. Join us as we uncover the causes of the disaster, its environmental and economic impact, and the lessons learned for future offshore drilling safety.
