Deepwater Horizon: The $65 Billion Oil Disaster
Some chapters in this book are about money. Some are about greed. This one is about what happens when you mix both with a deadline and a drill hole four kilometers under the ocean. Chapter 36 of Torsten Dennin’s “From Tulips to Bitcoins” (ISBN: 978-1-63299-227-7) tells the story of the Deepwater Horizon disaster. The biggest oil spill in American history. Eleven dead. 780 million liters of crude in the Gulf of Mexico. And a final bill of $65 billion.
