BP: Deepwater Horizon film inaccurate

BP has criticized the new "Deepwater Horizon" motion picture as being an inaccurate Hollywood dramatization of the deadly oil rig disaster in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010. "The 'Deepwater Horizon' movie is Hollywood's take on a tragic and complex accident. It is not an accurate portrayal of the events that led to the accident, our people, or the character of our company," the British oil and gas company said in a statement. 'Deepwater Horizon', released in the U.S. on Sept. 30, focuses on the hours before and after the explosion from a well blowout on the BP rig, leading to the worst offshore oil disaster in American history. Eleven workers were killed; and millions of barrels of oil spewed onto Gulf Coast shorelines for nearly three months. (Source: Marine Link 09/30/16)
