On April 20, 2010, the Deepwater Horizonoil rig exploded, killing eleven workers and creating the largest oil spill in the history of U.S. offshore drilling. But, this wasn't the first time British Petroleum and its cost-cutting practices destroyed parts of the natural world. It also was not the first time that BP's negligence resulted in the loss of human life, ruined family businesses, or shattered dreams. From Alaska to Kansas and the Gulf, journalist Mike Magner has been tracking BP's reckless path for years, and in Poisoned Legacyhe focuses, for the first time, on the human price of BP's rise to power.
