Final government report blames BP for Deepwater Horizon deaths, oil spill
A federal report released yesterday lays the majority of blame for the 2010 Deepwater Horizon explosion and oil spill squarely on BP, although the report's authors said the actions of several other companies contributed to the disaster.
Eleven workers were killed in the blast, which unleashed approximately 200 million gallons of crude oil into the Gulf of Mexico -- the worst offshore oil spill in U.S. history.
