BP Oil Spill

The closing of the well does prevent any more oil to leak into the gulf but it has definatly made its mark. I think the fact the oil leaked is a huge mistake by BP but the bigger mistake is that it took 5 months finally stop the problem. They should have plans for these types of issues. The response should be much quicker. Eventually the problem will be fixed but to put the gulf through another huge tragedy like this one is terrible. the spill does not affect me because I do not know anyone from that area and I do not consume seafood. It still hurts me to see the people who went through Hurricance Katrina to get hurt again. Hopefully the clean up is quick and effective.
