Gulf of Mexica, US. BP Deepwater Horizon spill site with West Sirius drill rig in the foreground and flares of captured gas burning on the Discoverer Enterprise and Q4000 rig. Some of the other ships remotely operate submersible robots working on the well a mile below; others are delivering supplies. The rigs Development Driller One and Two were drilling the relief wells. The West Sirius came and went to the spill site several times with no explanation as to its function. (Photo by J. Henry Fair/Industrial Scars/Papadakis Publisher)
