Am I the only one who is angry that in the end they don't even slightly show or mention the catastrophic damages that have been made to the ecosystem by the failure of BP and Halliburton? Just saying, what a joke. Hollywood is owned by big oil too, there is no doubt now.
shareYes. Total BS.
shareOh come on! If the energy industry had been behind this the culprit would've been the government or somebody else. It's clear from this film that the fault lay with the oil company engineers.
And the film was about the human cost of the accident, not the environmental costs. And human tragedy trumps environmental tragedy.
They did mention at the end how large the spill was. Also environmental damage caused by the oil spill was largely overestimated. Oceans are naturally resistant to oil spills (they happen as often as any earthquake). Birds and the ecosystem on the surface were damaged ofcourse, but the timely effort to clean it up helped.

"Also environmental damage caused by the oil spill was largely overestimated. Oceans are naturally resistant to oil spills."
You are for sure the expert to judge this.
sure, water does not care, it just destroyed ecosystems down to the bacteria. And local (e.g. fishing) economy with it.
