oil spill in the gulf

On April 20, a rig crashed into a pipe containing millions of gallons of oil. The oil still continues to spill into the Gulf of Mexico. They are having trouble controling tis spill and have tried many different sollutions to solve this problem. We are afraid that it will spread into the keys of Florida an possibly in t the Great Lakes. Sadly, some of the oil has been washed up on the beach along with many animals. This may become to be the largest oil spill in American history if we don't stop it soon.
