BP Gulf of Mexico oil spill.
Otherwise known as the Deep water Horizon Spill and the Macondo Blowout, the ongoing British Petroleum oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico is thought to be the worst to date.
The spill began on April 20, when an oil well 1,500m below the surface blew out, causing a catastrophic explosion on BP's Deep water Horizon offshore oil drilling platform about 64 km southeast off the coast of Louisiana.
Eleven workers died in the blast and another 17 were injured.
