"The Spill." PBS. PBS, 26 Oct. 2010" Web. 17 Mar. 2014.This PBS frontline video illustrates the shortcuts BP has taken in the last ten years and the consequences of that. BP has been cutting budgets since the nineties and as a result they have had multiple disasters such as the Alaska disaster, the huge fire in Texas, the tanker falling over in the gulf and the huge oil spill in the gulf. All of these happened because BP has been cheep and refused to check and repair issues. PBS Frontline is a reliable source and I plan to reuse this source.
Granatstein, Solly. "Blowout: The Deepwater Horizon Disaster." CBSNews. CBS Interactive, 16 May 2010. Web. 17 Mar. 2014. This 60 minutes video explains the issues and mistakes made that resulted in the deep water horizon rig explosion. A survivor of the explosion tells the story of the explosion and what led up to it. The two weeks before, many mistakes were made that were not reported so as to keep costs down. This is typical of BP. I trust this source it is an informational news chanel that creates movies. Although they may be bias the information is factual and I would not hesitate to reuse this site.
Krauss, Clifford. "Oil and Gasoline." - Petroleum. The New York Times, 17 Mar. 2014. Web. 17 Mar. 2014. This is a daily update on oil use and oil companies by The New York Times yesterday's update was on how BP's ban in the gulf was lifted and how they plan to attend the auctioning off of new drilling sites next week. This will be the first auction BP attends since their agreement with the environmental protection agency. There have been 3 auctions since BP spilled millions of gallons into the gulf and killed 11 people. This article also goes over previous BP accidents. This is a reliable source and I plan on using it again.
