Cleaning Oiled Beach in Alabama
A sun bather walks past workers as they clean up oil from the sand in Orange Beach, Alabama. Oil from the Deepwater Horizon wellhead in the Gulf of Mexico has started reaching the beaches in Alabama, Mississippi and Florida. The BP leased Deepwater Horizon oil platform exploded April 20 and sank after burning, leaking record amounts of crude oil from the broken pipeline into the sea.
