| Contents | The explosion of the Deepwater Horizon -- What you can't see can kill you: the BP Macondo oil monster escapes -- Body count: oil, gas, and dispersant attack the people, wildlife, and wild places of the Gulf -- When the oil kills the fish, can the fishers survive? -- Making BP pay: cleanup workers, vessels of opportunity, claims, and protests -- Big oil plays defense: BP and the oil industry respond to disaster -- Obama steps up: but is the disaster over and could it happen again? |
| Abstract | We cannot allow the BP disaster to be pushed from public view the way BP used chemical dispersants to hide the oil. These remarkable stories - of loss, heroism, and culpability - are a vivid reminder that this catastrophe will be with us for decades, and that we have not yet made the changes necessary to prevent destruction in the future. |
