Humans are able to gather together and solve problems as groups and teams without blame and without cost; it only happens if individuals feel OBLIGATED to do so.

It was the largest accidental marine spill in history.

Explanation:

Deepwater Horizon was a semi-submersible oil platform with rapid positioning of ultra-deep waters built in 2001 and located in the Gulf of Mexico, shared by the United States, Cuba and Mexico. It sank on April 22, 2010 as a result of an explosion that had taken place two days before, causing the most important oil spill in history, estimated at 779,000 tons of crude oil.

The first damages affected the marshes of the mouth and the delta of the Mississippi, extending to the area of Louisiana and other sectors of Florida and Cuba.

The purpose of the Deepwater Horizon tower was to drill oil wells in the subsoil, moving from one place to another as required. Once the drilling was finished, the extraction was done by another team. Deepwater Horizon was owned by Transocean and had been leased to BP until September 2013. In September 2009 it drilled the deepest oil well in history.

As a result of the accident, 11 staff members lost their lives.

Along with the sinking of the Petrobras 36 platform in 2001 with the same dead, it has been the worst tragedy on an oil rig since the explosion of the English platform Piper Alpha in 1988, which caused 167 deaths.
