BP oil spill at Gulf of Mexico

I was reading about the BP oil rig explosion and like these 2 pictures. The explosion occured on 20th April 2010. After two months when the BP Deepwater oil rig exploded, these pellicans are still alive. They were transfered to a new habitat by the environmentalists The other picture is a controlled burning of the oil. So much lost due to this disaster, but BP agreed to pay billions of dollars to the US government. You may see more pictures at:
