A few days ago a large oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico exploded. The major concern for everyone is making sure all the workers are safe. The majority of the workers were able to evacuate unharmed, and with only 11 people missing. It is believed that those 11 did not make it out in time but searches are still going on. Second to the human issue is the amount of crude oil released. At this time officials are unsure if the spill will be detrimental or if they can clean in up in time. Unfortunately it is still unknown as to caused the explosion, but officials speculate that it was because of worker negligence.
