[edit]

The section on transocean safety record is not relevant to the topic. this topic is about the disaster. If anything, it is poorly placed. please move to later in the article - current placement makes it cumbersome to read. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.223.230.151 (talk) 01:10, 11 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to one external link on Deepwater Horizon explosion. Please take a moment to review my edit. You may add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:

When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true or failed to let others know (documentation at {{Sourcecheck}}).

Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that File:Deepwater Horizon offshore drilling unit on fire 2010.jpg will be appearing as picture of the day on April 20, 2016. You can view and edit the POTD blurb at Template:POTD/2016-04-20. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 00:01, 3 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Deepwater Horizon explosion
On April 20, 2010, the Deepwater Horizon, a semi-submersible Mobile Offshore Drilling Unit owned and operated by Transocean and drilling for BP in the Macondo Prospect oil field southeast of the Louisiana coast, exploded. The explosion killed eleven workers, injured sixteen others, and caused the Deepwater Horizon to catch fire and sink. The same blowout also caused a massive offshore oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. This spill has been considered the largest accidental marine oil spill to date, as well as the largest environmental disaster in U.S. history.Photograph: United States Coast Guard; edit: Ottojula and Mark Miller
