In the BP Oil Spill, more than 200 million gallons of crude oil was pumped into the Gulf of Mexico for 87 days, making it the biggest oil spill in U.S. history.
16,000 total miles of coastline have been affected, including Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida.
BP is responsible for close to $40 billion in fines, cleanup costs, and settlements due to the 2010 oil spill.
