Deep-water Gulf of Mexico have found accumulation of oil that can kill all living

The consequences of an oil spill in the waters of the Gulf of Mexico can be much harder than previously thought.
New research led ecologists in shock: scientists have discovered the largest accumulation of oil in the history of drilling rigs for about a kilometer depth.
The spot is longer than 16 kilometers, and a thickness of more than 80 meters, reports New York Times. One could say that the amount of leakage from damaged wells have been seriously underestimated and the Government, and the management of BP.
Hydrocarbons significantly reduce oxygen levels in the Gulf of Mexico, in the area of the accident he had already dropped a third. Ultimately, it will be so small that it will kill almost all marine life, said the publication of official University of Georgia Samantha Joy.

Apparently BP has used too many chemicals and oil just sank to the bottom.
Meanwhile, the Company continues to use this method, and even received permission from regulators.
Today experts BP again try to pump out oil from the well, now with Flex 1.5 km in length, from which oil's idea should come from the tanker. Flexible buffer try to put on the wellhead, and if it does not work, sometime next week, rescuers started installation of a new protective bell.

Recall, April 20 at the oil station in the Gulf of Mexico, BP is owned on a leasehold, an explosion occurred, killing 11 workers. Then from the sunken oil platforms began to flow.
