Gulf Oil Spill Report

A year ago this month, the Deepwater Horizon oil rig explosion happened, spewing oil into the Gulf Coast of the United States for 3 months. How did this happen? Who is at blame? What protections need to be made for the future? President Obama commissioned an investigative report. Come see the display of Deep water : the Gulf oil disaster and the future of offshore drilling : report to the President and the commission’s recommendation in the library’s United States Document Collection on the north wing of the main floor.
