"Oil Spill Prompts Inspections; Louisiana Prepares" April 29, 2010
"April 29 (Bloomberg) -- The U.S. Interior Department announced immediate inspections of all deep-water drilling rigs in the Gulf of Mexico and Louisiana’s governor declared a state of emergency as oil from a sunken rig drifted within three miles of the state.

The U.S. will “use every single available resource at our disposal,” in response to the spill, President Barack Obama said today. BP Plc, which owns the leaking well, is “ultimately responsible” for paying for the costs of the cleanup, the president said. Oil may land in Louisiana today, in Mississippi two days later, Alabama in three days and Florida in four, according to a government forecast."
