A criminal, greedy, nation-less corporation

 A criminal, greedy, nation-less corporation with a long criminal Rap-Sheet: clearly illustrating deliberate negligence, murder of its workers, people, plunder of nations natural resources, polluting dozen or so areas all around the world and orchestrating political turmoil, and phony revolutions, including the 1953 dismantling of Dr. Mossadegh's democratically elected government of Iran / Persia and the return of the ousted King back to Iran.
That is right; the answer is the British Petroleum, known asBP, the biggest criminal nation-less corporation in the world.
We MUST NOT forget and must not allow this historic disastrous and impossible to clean of millions of tons of oil spill ever to be forgotten.

Dead Coral Found Near Site of Oil Spill


the British Petroleum, known as BP, a criminal nation-less corporation

A survey of the seafloor near BP’s blown-out well in the Gulf of Mexico has turned up dead        and dying coral reefs that were probably damaged by the oil spillThe coral sites lie seven miles southwest of the well, at a depth of about 4,500 feet, in an area where large plumes of dispersed oil were discovered drifting through the deep ocean last spring in the weeks after the spill. The large areas of darkened coral and other damaged marine organisms were almost certainly dying from exposure to toxic substances, scientists said.The corals were discovered  by scientists aboard a National Oceanic and AtmosphericAdministration research vessel using a submersible robot equipped with cameras and sampling tools. The discovery of the dead corals offers the strongest evidence so far that oil from the BP well may have harmed marine life in the deep ocean, a concern raised by many biologists soon after the April 20 blowout that caused the spill. At an estimated nearly five million barrels, it was the largest offshore oil spill in the nation’s history.A brownish substance covered many of the dead or dying reefs but was probably dead tissue and sediment, not oil, Dr. Fisher said.Oil seeps naturally from the seafloor throughout the Gulf of Mexico, but that was unlikely to have caused such a severe coral die-off. Coral sites in shallower waters farther from the well have not suffered visible damage, scientists say, but they are still studying these reefs for signs of less acute long-term effects.
