It exploded on 20 April 2010 by a fire and then generating an oil spill from reaching a mean estimate of 4.9 million barrels or 780 million gallons spread and an unprecedented ecological disaster. On 19 September, after numerous attempts, the leak is declared blocked by the U.S. federal government. The pollution generated affects the ecosystem and the local economy, threatening more than 400 species, including whales, the dolphins, the manatees and numerous birds such as egrets, herons, etc. (Transocean, 2009).
2. On 17 June 2010, BP announced that Tony Hayward who was the CEO of BP during the crisis was to leave the management of the oil spill to someone else. The company announced on that date that inability to recover 4 million liters / day of crude oil would still grow before July. She bought thirty-two machines for separating water from oil (capacity: 25 million liters / day) and started to drill two relief wells it intends to service mid-August (Romm, 2010). Twenty-two countries including Russia, the Canada and Japan have offered to help the United States. On 14 March 2011, David Fritz said he was the only BP employee assigned to manage risk in the event of an oil spill at the time of the disaster.
