Oily Disaster
When the BP rig exploded the people of Louisiana, who make their living from the sea, began to prepare for the worst. This is the story of thousands of workers and businesses preparing for ruin.
When the oil rig blew up in the Gulf of Mexico few expected the ramifications to change life in Coastal Louisiana forever. But locals are now facing an end of life as they know it. Jerome Jones, local shrimp fisherman, says the spill will be devastating for an industry that was already struggling. "A lot of fishermen probably won't be in business after this". And anger continues to mount over the cosy relationship between government and the oil industry which allowed safety standards to lapse so terribly.
