The prototype of the accident:
On April 20, 2010, the oil spill in the US Gulf of Mexico aroused great attention from the international community. Many countries sent equipment and personnel to the United States to help the United States deal with the pollution problem as soon as possible. Although Iran has serious conflicts with the United States over its nuclear energy program, it also provides the United States with technology for drilling relief wells. On July 15, 2010, BP announced that the new oil control device has successfully covered the underwater oil spill point, "no more crude oil flows into the Gulf of Mexico".
The US Coast Guard said on April 24, 2010, that the "Deepwater Horizon" drilling rig exploded and sank for about two days, and the damaged oil well under the sea began to leak oil. The well is located 1,525 meters below the surface of the sea. Subsea probes have shown that oil has begun to leak from the drilling riser and drilling pipe, and the estimated oil leakage is about 1,000 barrels per day.
