The disaster was the worst US offshore oil spill

The US Justice Department has accused BP of "gross negligence and wilful misconduct" over the Deepwater Horizon disaster, claims which BP denies.

The allegations came in papers filed in the federal court in New Orleans.

The Deepwater Horizon rig had been leased by BP. It exploded on 20 April 2010, killing 11 workers and spilling millions of gallons of crude oil.

1. Too bad the court suit will not go to trial until after the election.

Meanwhile, the Gulf beaches are littered with oil and tarballs that Isacc blew ashore.
Which has been happening with every storm since the oil catastrophe.
( I wish they would stop calling it a "spill"..such a minimizing word)
