ShortHand: The Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill

7 April - 22 mins
Podcast Series RedHanded

A relentless barrage of oil that killed anything in its path, the disaster that befell the Deepwater Horizon oil rig took the lives of eleven crew members, destroyed an entire oceanic ecosystem, and is still severely affecting the livelihoods of coastal communities to this day.  

Described as “the largest ecocide in history”, the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, and the response of BP, the company responsible, serves as a testament to corporate greed and profit over people. Hard working crew members lost their lives, fishing towns lost their income, and billions of oceanic organisms perished, all so that BP could get back on schedule.
