NEW ORLEANS (WVUE) - Tuesday, April 20, 2021 marks eleven years since the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig exploded in the Gulf of Mexico killing eleven workers and starting the largest oil spill in Gulf history.
A group of cleanup workers are still fighting for help more than a decade later. The images of the massive fire and cleaning crews dominated the summer of 2010 after the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig exploded about 40 miles off the Louisiana coast and sank two days later.
