The Deepwater Horizon oil spill has the potential to become the worst man-made disaster in history. With
some 100,000 barrels worth of oil spewing forth daily from the Gulf of Mexico wreck (including a second, smaller outpouring), the leak threatens the coasts of Louisiana, Missisippi, Alabama, Texas, and Florida, and promises unforeseen environmental impact. While there's no shortage of blame to go around, the public relations nightmare falls squarely on the shoulders of British Petroleum. So you’d think BP would be running a pretty good publicity game to combat the negativity swirling around their name. Not so much.
