Oil boom barriers that are expected to stop the spread of oil from the BP Deepwater Horizon platform disaster, lies washed up on the beach after heavy swells and winds hit the coast of Louisiana on April 30, 2010. A giant oil slick threatened economic and environmental devastation as it closed in on Louisiana's vulnerable coast, prompting the US government to declare a national disaster. Louisiana governor Bobby Jindal declared a state of emergency and called for urgent help to prevent fragile wetlands and vital fishing communities along the coast from pollution on a massive scale. The wind started to strengthen and blow the 600-square-mile (1,550-square-kilometer) slick directly onto the coast, where a rich variety of wildlife were at risk in the maze of marshes that amounts to 40 percent of the US wetlands.

ZAGREB - Tri tjedna nakon početka ekološke i gospodarske noćne more u Meksičkom zaljevu, kompanija BP (British Petroleum), vlasnik bušotine iz koje je dosad iscurjelo najmanje pet milijuna galona nafte, isprobava treću metodu za zaustavljanje katastrofe koja prijeti američkoj obali.

Nakon što je početkom ovog tjedna propao plan za zaustavljanje curenja spuštanjem goleme betonsko-čelične konstrukcije (12 metara visoke i stotinu tona teške), britanski energetski div odlučio je pokušati s manjim kontejnerom koji bi trebao zapečatiti izvor iz kojeg šiklja nafta te je slati na površinu. Nadaju se da neće doći do stvaranja kristalića leda koji su onesposobili prvi, veći kontejner koji je poslan.
