BP Oil Spill
The BP oil spill, also known as the Deepwater Horizon spill, occurred in late April 2010 when a oil well exploded in the Gulf of Mexico and killed 11 people. The disastrous spill gushed millions of gallons of oil into the Gulf and is considered an environmental catastrophe and one of the worst offshore oil spills in U.S. history.

How is Florida hitched to the oil spills in the Gulf of Mexico?
The Gulf of Mexico is on Gulf coast or right coast of Florida.
BP is mostly British AND American - 40% shareholders are British and 39% are US. Thus 21% are owned by shareholders in a number of other countries. Hence, it is, arguably, not a British or American company in the true sense but a multinational one.
Note also, while the CEO is British, the Chairman is Swedish.
While the parent company of the Group, BP plc, is registered in Britain, different parts of the BP Group are registered companies in different countries, including the USA, Britain and Russia, to name just three.
Plus, BP is more correctly known as BP, and NOT British Petroleum. It has not been legally known as British Petroleum since 2001, when BP merged with the US company AMOCO.
The company within the group that is actually closest associated with the Gulf oil spill is actually BP USA Inc.It is, therefore, argued that BP USA Inc that should be burdened with the cost of the oil spill cleanup, and not the whole of the BP international group.

In the USA you could try http://www.fintel.us or for UK companies you could try http://www.industry-averages.co.uk neither are free however. The problem in lots of cases with 'industry averages' is that they are just based on SIC codes and you end up not comparing like with like unless you are careful.
