By Alec Ross| Bluedot Living Verified On April 20, 2010, the BP Deepwater Horizon offshore oil rig exploded and released millions of liters of oil into the Gulf of Mexico — the largest oil spill in U.S. history. The explosion killed 11 crew members on the drilling platform, and the resulting spill devastated the gulf’s saltwater and shoreline habitats for fish, birds, sea turtles, and marine mammals. At the time, Morgan Lehtinen was a 15-year-old high school student in Newmarket, Ontario, 1,200 miles (almost 2,000 km) away.
