They’ve now made a movie about Deepwater Horizon (Click here to see the trailer). I heard an interview with the director, Peter Berg, and he said he didn’t focus the movie on the environmental impact but on the human lives lost. That’s good because the explosion on that oil rig killed eleven men. ThisContinue reading “#DeepwaterHorizon-Using Reality in Fiction”

TRAILS IN THE SAND CONTINUES
I wrote Trails in the Sand in 2013, two years after BP’s Deepwater Horizon oil spill and the Upper Big Branch Massey coal mine explosion in West Virginia.

Both tragedies could have been prevented if safety standards hadContinue reading “TRAILS IN THE SAND CONTINUES”

Justice for Deepwater Horizon and Massey Mine Disasters – Charge the Real Culprits
By P.C. Zick – @PCZick Criminal charges filed against Kurt Mix, a former BP engineer, for destroying records detailing the amount of oil spewing during the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in 2010 are encouraging.

Those guys are easy toContinue reading “Justice for Deepwater Horizon and Massey Mine Disasters – Charge the Real Culprits”
Coral reefs damaged by Deepwater Horizon oil spill
By P.C. Zick – @PCZick It’s been almost two years since the Macondo well in the Gulf of Mexico began gushing oil after the BP’s Deepwater Horizon oil rig exploded.
