Η πετρελαιοκηλίδα από τη βυθισμένη πλατφόρμα της ΒP στον Κόλπο του Μεξικού έφτασε στις ακτές της Λουιζιάνας και λόγω της παλίρροιας και των ισχυρών ανέμων απειλεί να εισχωρήσει βαθιά στο δέλτα του του Μισισιπή, του μεγαλύτερου ποταμού των ΗΠΑ.

Κατάσταση έκτακτης ανάγκης κηρύχθηκε το απόγευμα της Παρασκευής σε έξι κομητείες της πολιτείας της Φλόριντα. «Τρομακτική» χαρακτήρισε την κατάσταση εκπρόσωπος της Υπηρεσίας Ωκεανών και Ατμόσφαιρας (NOOA), καθώς η κηλίδα απειλεί να προκαλέσει μια από τις χειρότερες περιβαλλοντικές καταστροφές στην ιστορία των ΗΠΑ.

Σκάφη της ακτοφυλακής και του πολεμικού ναυτικού αναπτύσσουν πλωτά φράγματα για να προστατεύσουν τις ακτές και η πολεμική αεροπορία ετοιμάζεται να βομβαρδίσει την ιριδίζουσα κηλίδα με χημικά απορρύπανσης.

Στο μεταξύ, ο σύμβουλος του Αμερικανού προέδρου Ντέιβιντ Αξελροντ ανακοίνωσε ότι μέχρι να διαλευκανθούν τα αίτια του δυστυχήματος στον Κόλπο του Μεξικού, η κυβέρνηση παγώνει τις διαδικασίες αδειοδότησης για νέες υπεράκτιες πλατφόρμες.

 

David Kennedy of NOAA speaks on the severity of the BP oil disaster. "I am frightened."

Oil spill disaster after the loss of the oil rig "Deepwater Horizon" in the Gulf of Mexico

On April 21, 2010 a momentous explosion occured on the oil rig "Deepwater Horizon" located in the Gulf of Mexico about 80 km off the coast of Louisiana, USA. The oil rig caught fire and 11 workers were missing after the incident and are believed to be dead. On the following day the oil rig sank to the seafloor about 1500 m below the surface and approximately 400 m northwest of the well. Every day an estimation of 160.000 litres of oil are leaking from two places of the well and threaten the marine ecosystem of the Gulf of Mexico and the coast of Luisiana, USA. Efforts to stop the leakage have not been successful to date. During an overflight over the Gulf of Mexico on April 25, 2010 the German TerraSAR-X Satellite acquired a radar image showing an extensive oil spill on the sea surface caused by the oil rig disaster. The extent of the oil spill shown on the map is about 80 km in north-south direction and 50 km in west-east direction.
