Tony Hayward BP Oil Spill
An explosion occurred on the Deepwater Horizon oil rig, operated by BP on 20 April 2010. Eleven people got killed in the blast and oil began to leak from the ocean floor at a rate variously estimated to be between 5,000 barrels (790 m3) and 100,000 barrels (16,000 m3) per day.
BP initially downplayed the spill, stating on 17 May 2010 that the environmental impact of the Gulf spill would likely be “very very modest” and then calling the spill “relatively tiny” in comparison with the size of the ocean. By 27 Mat, Tony had changed his assessment calling the spill an “environmental catastrophe” in an interview with CNN.

Tony Hayward Sorry
After the largest oil spill in U.S. history and the massive destruction it caused to the Gulf Coast, Hayward shared a video clip saying sorry. In his speech, Tony was telling reporters that the company hopes to corral most of the crude offshore.
“The first thing to say is I’m sorry,” “We’re sorry for the massive disruption it’s caused their lives. There’s no one who wants this over more than I do. I would like my life back.”
Hayward said the company is doing “everything we can to contain the oil offshore,” but, “as far as I’m concerned, a cup of oil on the beach is a failure.”
“What we’re not faced with is a complete line of oil coming at us. It’s more like guerilla insurgency, if I can use military jargon,” he said. “And what we need to do is have a rapid response capability to get it as we identify it, rather than have it come onto the shore or onto the marsh.”
