New standards for oil infrastructure And more regular safety checks are necessary.

# data[].attributes.body
i believe that BP are to blame as certain checks and safety procedures were not carried out or done to the best of the ability from the company as they were cutting corners.

# data[].attributes.body
BP could pay out comprehension so those who were effected.

# data[].attributes.body
one recommendation would be to check standards daily to ensure everything is okay.

# data[].attributes.body
new standards were made for oil infrastructure and health and safety was improved across these activities.

# data[].attributes.body
A recommendation would be to have used an up-scaled version of "water-oil separators"

# data[].attributes.body
i would reassure the people living in that area that they will be making their house value back which they lost, as well as giving them some compensation due to the massive disaster and how they ruined the community (BP)

# data[].attributes.body
I think everyone had a part to play in the event as all the companies involved tried to cut corners. None of them fully followed through with the polices, risk assessments or tests that are in place to make it safe.

# data[].attributes.body
They could toughen regulations regarding dispersants to prevent companies using ineffective and potentially harmful products.

# data[].attributes.body
bp could pay out compensation to those workers affected because it was such a big event.

# data[].attributes.body
I Blame BP because they didn't do anything to help the survivors until 4 years after the disaster happened as well as they tried to cut corners when they were in the court also.

A recommendation  that come out of this was Barack Obama slap a block on deep water exploration in the Gulf of Mexico which has angered the engineering industry and crisis-hit communities that rely on rigs for their jobs.

# data[].attributes.body
Bp were to blame because it was there pipe found leaked and it was found out also that they did not do any required safety checks on the pipe before putting it on the water.

# data[].attributes.body
Resulted in new mandatory standards for oil well infrastructure and more frequent monitoring and repairs of equipment.

# data[].attributes.body
I blame the company as the company were aware of this occurrences and decided to ignore It due to money difficulties.

# data[].attributes.body
One of the primary recommendations related to the spill would be that of the methods in which risks for deep sea rigging were assessed; previous methodologies consisted of basing risk off of previous spillages; this did not take into account however the different depths of the spillages. When aggregating for the depth in which risk of spillage occurs, it is definitive that the deeper the oil rigging, the greater the risk of default in the pumping line and hence overall operation.

Also, there could be greater incentives for providing adequate safety measures.

# data[].attributes.body
An additional recommendation I would make would be about safety checks. If there is oil to be dug up in the sea then there would have to be strict safety regulations so that this wouldn't happen again.

# data[].attributes.body
OBAMA ordered the federal government to stop offshore drilling until the leak had been sorted

# data[].attributes.body
President Obama made sure that there would not be anymore drilling for oil in that area due to the spillage.

# data[].attributes.body
The long term effects on the workers that were involved with the clean-up was that there was an increase in illnesses with symptoms such as shortness of breath, headache, cough, weakness and skin rash due to being exposed. These symptoms were still present up to 7 years after the event.

# data[].attributes.body
Id blame BP as they didn't properly check their equipment and pipes and the spillage is the result of poor safety checks.

# data[].attributes.body
Mortality rates for common bottlenose dolphins living in Barataria Bay, Louisiana were 8 percent higher and their reproductive success was 63 percent lower compared to other dolphin populations.

The 50,000 people involved in the spill cleanup were exposed to chemicals that severely damage lung tissue.

Cleanup workers and their spouses reported increased depression and domestic disputes.

Even Gulf residents indirectly affected by the spill suffered from increased anxiety and depression.

The impact of the oil spill on fisheries could total $8.7 billion by 2020, including the loss of 22,000 jobs.

10 million user-days of beach, fishing and boating activity were lost.

# data[].attributes.body
BP were to blame as they were to blame as they where behind schedule and millions of pounds over budget resulting in them cutting corners in order to save money and time.

# data[].attributes.body
BP are to blame because they did not plan the rig well enough, missing many factors which added to this tragic event, missing factors such as how much cement to use for the seal.

# data[].attributes.body
obama suspended test drilling on 33 rigs in the gulf of mexico.

# data[].attributes.body
I would make a recommendation for the company of BP itself inn regard to how they dealt with the oil spill with that being to employ the use of bioremediation which in terms of raw materials involved, from what I have read, seems to be less costly than corexit but more importantly it would certainly have been more ethical. The only point in regard to ethics that one has to bear in mind in this case is that it could take far more time, which also may result in a higher cost as well, but in terms of ethics the danger is that the oil will be causing problems for the environment and peoples health the whole time.

Fishermen were heavily impacted by this as they would not be allowed to fish in those areas due to all the fish being wiped out by the oil. This would impact their income for families and their mental health as they would not be able to provide due to having no income.

I would recommend that every company across the planet looked at their oil rigs and their equipment properly and test them on a more frequent basis to better understand their limits and what could go wrong. I also think you should teach people better about what to do in that situation, if an accident ever occurs.

# data[].attributes.body
the deepwater horizion has effected many differant coummunites and has had muilple differant impacts on towards these communites one of the communities that I have looked at is family and friends as a muilple people died on the day of the spillage from the explosion.

BP. It was their fault that they did not do the safety checks properly.

# data[].attributes.body
There was an oil and gas leak which led to an explosion and sinking of the Deepwater Horizon oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico that killed 11 people.The underwater cameras revealed that the BP pipe was leaking oil and gas on the ocean floor about 42 miles off the coast of Louisiana.

Maybe have less drilling rigs in the future because of the risk that they give.

Community: Fisherman/workers.
One of the long term effects is that there are no fish in the sea or healthy fish to catch due to the oil spill leaving them out of work. Another long term effect is that they will not have money coming in anymore resulting in potential homelessness/moving out.

# data[].attributes.body
There were recommendations made, directed more towards government, that there should be increased incentive for companies to invest in safety as well as a recommendation that regulatory structures should be adapted to deepwater drilling risks. In the case of the former point, include amongst the points of that recommendation were the following: that they should raise liability caps to reflect the risk posed by deepwater drilling; and that they should establish commensurate financial responsibility requirements.

# data[].attributes.body
BP was to blame due to them short cutting the way they fix's their problems with the oil rig

# data[].attributes.body
I think the people who had to deal with health and safety are responsible. If the health and safety standards were good, this accident would not have happened.

# data[].attributes.body
Many articles were posted about a review of oil spills and specifically the deepwater horizon incident to recommend what BP did wrong and what they could have done differently. Some of these recommendations are provide stronger incentives for industry to invest in safety, risk reduction, and spill response and containment technologies and strengthen the oversight capacity of institutions involved in offshore drilling.

# data[].attributes.body
One long term effect would be on the families and friends of the workers who died. The effect would be that these families and friends have lost a loved one and have to live with that.

# data[].attributes.body
Certainly, BP had a large part to play in the spill, primarily due to rushed operations as a result of behind-schedule extraction rates; this spurred the business (more specifically those who manned the rig) to cut corners in order to "make up for lost time". Such corner cutting resulted in an increase in errors and certain problems with systems being overlooked.

Also, the blame can extend to BP's role in the eventual clean up after the event; they used a chemical agent called "Corexit" which provided only an aesthetic benefit and no real practicality when trying to mitigate an oil spill on the scale of Deepwater. Some argue that the use of Corexit was spurred by further "corner-cutting" in order to reduce clean up costs (which, if other methods such as skimming were used, may considerably increase associated costs for the company).

There were a number of flaws which occurred and caused an explosion which burned for a day and led to a big oil spill in Mexico. These are flaws such as not enough concrete to create a seal and a valve failure.

There was a huge oil spillage in Mexico due to too much pressure and this then lead to oil leakage, this killed 11 people.

Local Fishermen

One of the most impacted communities as a result of the Deepwater Oil spill would be that of "local fishermen"; the localities of such affects were however broad, spanning from the coastline of Louisiana to Alabama and Florida.

In Louisiana, the number of juvenile bluefin tuna was reduced in volume by 20%, resulting in smaller fishing yields for businesses; also, for those that did manage to find fish, there were further issues related to oil contamination which would prohibit the fish from being available for human consumption.

employees.
some of them did die. the ones that survived might have caught long term illnesses due to the spill.

# data[].attributes.body
I blame BP as it was quite clear that they made decisions they knew posed a risk to the employees so that they could meet deadlines.

# data[].attributes.body
There was an explosion at a BP drilling rig which lead to a fire and loads of oil being spilled into the ocean. 11 workers died and 17 were injured.

# data[].attributes.body
BP can address the ethical concerns for the local residences, business and the environment by using an alternate cleaning process call suck and drain and BP could tell the communities they would uses the suck and drain Technic instead of the chemical solution to help clear up oil spillages in the future. Because it reduces the amount of oil present in the ocean over a longer period and it reduce the amount of chemicals which is damaging for the environment.  This is a more reliable method of clear up for an oil business. However it costs a lot more to do as it involves more elements instead of using a chemical.

# data[].attributes.body
President Obama ordered the federal government to delay issuing new offshore drilling leases until a thorough review determined whether more safety systems were needed and authorised teams to investigate 29 oil rigs in the Gulf in an effort to determine the cause of the disaster. That same day he announced that he had dispatched the Secretaries of the Department of Interior and Homeland Security to the Gulf Coast to assess the disaster.

# data[].attributes.body
the community i will be talking about is the residents of the Louisiana coast line, the massive oil spill ruined their daily lives, couldn't walk down the coastline and couldn't go for food in their local restaurants, which then caused mental illnesses, and depression over the national average two years after the massive oil spill this also could've been caused by the fact that house prices in that area went down by 40%

# data[].attributes.body
The blame is on the lack of ignorance and care by the BP safety team. They clearly did not do enough tests or know enough about the pure pressure and deadly limits that the drilling rig could get to.

# data[].attributes.body
Personally i blame BP, had the work been done correctly by the right trained people the accident never would have happened, overall the judge gave BP 67% of the blame.

BP, as well as the wells owner, was ultimately responsible. This is because, the central cause of the explosion was a failure in the cement at the base of the 18,000 foot deep well that was supposed to contain oil and gas within the well base

# data[].attributes.body
During the event, the cement at the base of the drill failed therefore not containing the oil and the gas which the well was supposed to be holding. Which resulted in high pressure methane gas expanding in the well causing a large explosion.

# data[].attributes.body
Tourists/ Residents were affected due to the explosion as housing prices fell 40% so people couldn’t sell their properties as there was no demand for them. Tourists levels fell as people didn’t want to go and visit the coast of Louisiana and local businesses struggled to make ends meet as they rely on the tourists to make money.

# data[].attributes.body
The fishing industry are unable to fish for months and months because the ocean is still so oil rich and it just destroys so much good product. Even after the oil has gone then their is still the deadly chemicals to deal with used to treat the oil that will not be suitable to eat.

It was a industrial disaster that began on April 20, 2010, in the Gulf of Mexico on the BP operated Macondo Prospect. And is considered to be the largest oil spill.

# data[].attributes.body
The 50,000 people involved in the spill cleanup were exposed to chemicals that severely damaged lung tissue. Cleanup workers and their partners reported increased depression and domestic disputes.

# data[].attributes.body
Due to both a blowout preventer faulting and discrepancies in fixing cracks in the central pumping line; shaking was initially felt on deck, this was then followed by a large explosion which killed 11 workers instantly.

A secondary explosion followed, which spurred the remaining workers to either jump into the Gulf of Mexico or run to lifeboats. Eventually, after two days, the rig had sunk into the Gulf.

Oil spilled into the Gulf of Mexico at a rate of approx. 5,000 barrels a day.

# data[].attributes.body
During the event, as a result of cost cutting and a lack of safety precautions, the Deepwater Horizon oil rig experienced an explosion which saw oily effluvium cast out into the sea as well as a lethal conflagration.
