Oil spill approaches Louisiana coast

Late on the night of April 20th, 50 miles from the shore of Louisiana,

a fire broke out aboard the Transocean Deepwater Horizon oil rig under lease by BP,

with 126 individuals on board. After a massive explosion,

all but 11 of the crew managed to escape as the rig was consumed by fire,

later collapsing and sinking into the Gulf.

Safeguards set in place to automatically cap the oil well in case of catastrophe did not work as expected,

and now an estimated 5,000 barrels (over 200,000 gallons)

of crude oil is pouring into the Gulf of Mexico every day -

and could possibly continue to do so for months as complicated efforts are made to stop the leak.

Collected here are several recent photos of the developing situation along Louisiana's Gulf Shore -

one with the potential to eclipse the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill in scope and damage. (32 photos total)
