Oil Spill in the Gulf of Mexico | Photo 03

GULF OF MEXICO, LA - MAY 21: Natural gas siphoned from the BP oil leak burns off on the Discover Enterprise on May 21, 2010 in the Gulf of Mexico off the Louisiana coast. Ultra-deepwater rigs and other equipment are being assembled at the site, preparing for a procedure called a 'top kill' that BP hopes will stop the flow of oil from the well. A month after BP's Deepwater Horizon well exploded, oil continues gushing from the well and is coating beaches and marshland along the coast. (Photo by John Moore/Getty Images)
