Gulf oil spill swiftly balloons, killed 11 workers and effect many environment damage

American coastline from Louisiana to Florida on Saturday as a massive oil slick spewing from a ruptured well kept growing.The experts said that the uncontrolled gusher could create a nightmare scenario if the Gulf Stream carries it toward the Atlantic.

USA President Barack Obama visit the region Sunday to assess the situation amid growing criticism. The USA government and oil company BP PLC should have done more to stave off the disaster. Efforts to stem the flow and remove oil from the surface by skimming oil, burning oil or spiking oil with chemicals to disperse it continued with little success.

 

The Coast Guard  conceded Saturday said that nearly impossible to know how much oil has gushed since the April 20 rig explosion. The Coast Guard earlier said that it was at least 1.6 million gallons (About 2 1/2 Olympic sized swimming pools). The blast killed 11 workers and threatened beaches, fragile marshes and marine mammals, along with fishing grounds that are among the world's most productive.
