A spill in any of the deep sea areas would reduce the biodiversity of that area through reductions of bird populations, fish-stocks and populations of marine mammals. All of which are already under severe threat of over fishing and habitat disturbance without this imposed threat. Furthermore the contamination of coastal and coral ecosystems will all lead to to damage on the livelihoods of fishermen and people involved the local tourism. The 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico has been described as the worst environmental disaster in the United States, releasing about 4.9 million barrels of crude oil making it the largest accidental marine oil spill. Most of the impact of this was experienced by the marine species.
David Lesar is the Chairman and CEO of this company. ETHICAL ISSUE Halliburton was one of the companies that were responsible for the world’s biggest oil explosion known as the Deepwater horizon oil spill in 10th April 2010. On the BP –operated Macondo Prospect Halliburton was one of the rig-operators. Lack of remote-control shut-off switch and proper cement mixing resulted in the oil spill disaster. Halliburton was also responsible for destroying evidence in Deepwater Horizon oil spill disaster in the Gulf of Mexico.
Shell shock caused a lot of problems and casualties for the country and for the war. People who were victims of shell shock were most likely to feel panicked and scarred of flight and unable to sleep, walk or talk. At the beginning of World War II, the term "shell shock" was banned by the British Army, though the phrase "postconcussional syndrome" was used to describe similar traumatic responses. By December 1914 as many as 10% of British officers and 4% of enlisted men were suffering from "nervous and mental
Because of the devastation of hurricane Katrina many of the United States oil refineries were damaged, causing a decrease in gas supply. The damage to the oil refineries cause them to be shut down. With many of the United States oil refineries shut down, the supply of crude oil was effect and that is what caused an increase in gas prices. Hurricane Katrina resulted in an immediate loss of nearly 1.5 million barrels a day of crude oil from the
For example on November 6th 2010 the house of the Gladiators collapsed due to general deterioration and also heavy rainfall – see source B. Much of the site is closed to tourists because of the danger of collapse. Also artefacts are damaged from the natural environment with carbonised remains from Herculaneum disintegrating in days after being exposed to the air
It was then declared that Love Canal was and is still considered a very dangerous area to be near and to live on. “ Love Canal will likely long endure as a ‘national symbol of a failure to exercise a sense of concern for future generations'(Sam Howe Verhovek). In my own opinion, I believe that Love Canal should not now, nor ever have anymore houses or facilities built on it. Love Canal was and is a place that had many illnesses among its people. “residents exhibited a ‘disturbingly high rate of miscarriages ... Love Canal can now be added to a growing list of environmental disasters involving toxics, ranging from industrial workers stricken by nervous disorders and cancers to the discovery of toxic materials in the milk of nursing mothers.’ (Love Canal).
Deering’s emotions reflected those of many others who felt like BP wasn’t being responsible for their own actions. His cartoon was published during one of the worst disasters in history, the oil spilling out of the ocean fifty miles southeast of the Louisiana port of Venice after the explosion of the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig. When the drilling rig exploded 11 workers were reported missing and 17 were reported injured (Guardian).The Deepwater Horizon oil spill also known as the BP oil spill is the biggest spill in American history, with between 17 and 39 million gallons spilled in the Gulf of Mexico (Dosomething.org). This isn't the first time British Petroleum has run into trouble. In 2005, a massive explosion occurred at the company's Texas City, Texas, refinery, killing 15 workers and injuring 170 others.
The three things that affected North Vietnamese, hating Americans, living in harsh conditions and receiving severe injuries were all things they had to deal with during and after the war. They hated the Americans for causing deaths and poisoning land that will now cause problems for North Vietnamese today. The harsh conditions led to injuries which also made them hate Americans. As much as they hated them at that time, they now forgive and try to move forward from what happened. The Vietnam War definitely affected them in a bad way but at least they look into the future and not think of the past.

Oil spills have a number of effects on the environment and economy. On a basic level, oil will damage waterways, marine life and plants and animals on the land. An oil spill can also ruin the infrastructure and economy of a particular area with the long-term effects being felt for generations. Cleaning an oil spill is very expensive and the costs get spread to government agencies, non-profits, and the oil transport company itself. There is no set science for an oil spill clean-up.
