Poisoned Legacy: The Human Cost of BP's Rise to Power

The story is all too-familiar: On April 20, 2010, the Deepwater Horizon oil rig exploded, killing eleven workers and creating the largest oil spill in the history of U.S. offshore drilling. But, this wasn€™t the first time British Petroleum and its cost-cutting practices destroyed parts of the natural world. It also was not the first time that BP€™s negligence resulted in the loss of human life, ruined family businesses or shattered dreams.

From Alaska to Kansas to the Gulf, Magner has talked to people whose lives have been destroyed by BP€™s almost unparalleled corporate greed.
