BP has resumed pumping mud into the oil well in the Gulf of Mexico. What are your thoughts on the response by BP and the US government to the disaster?
It has emerged that far more oil has poured from the well than was previously thought, which would make this the biggest spill in US history.
US President Barack Obama has defended his government’s handling of the huge oil spill. Speaking at the White House, the president vowed to hold BP accountable for the “horrific disaster”.
The move comes after an opinion poll said 60% of Americans were unhappy with the government’s response.
What lessons can be learned from the crisis? What does it mean for the future of deep-sea drilling? Are you in the region? Are you unhappy with the response?
