The death and destruction “are seared into our consciousness”
Four years after an explosion on BP’s Deepwater Horizon oil drilling rig killed eleven workers and caused the largest offshore oil spill in U.S. history, the U.S. Chemical Safety Board (CSB) is ready to release its report into the causes of the disaster.
“The death and destruction of that day are seared in our consciousness,” said CSB Chairperson Rafael Moure-Eraso in a statement. “The forthcoming CSB investigation report has a singular focus: preventing such an accident from happening again.”
