A doughnut, also spelled as donut, is a type of sweet deep fried pastry. Variations on doughnuts are popular all over the world, where they are called by a wide variety of names, although the basic incarnation of fried sweet dough remains the same. The doughnut is often sprinkled with sugar or other toppings, and may be frosted or glazed as well.
All of us at BP deeply regret the tragic loss of life caused by the Deepwater Horizon accident as well as the impact of the spill on the Gulf coast region, said Bob Dudley, BP's Group Chief Executive in a statement on the company's website.
BP was already recovering from disaster when the Deepwater Horizon rig blew. Just five years prior, a hydrocarbon vapor cloud exploded at the company's Texas City refinery, killing 15 and injuring over 170. Explosions shook the Deepwater Horizon on April 20, 2010, and sunk the ultra-deepwater drilling rig off the shore of Louisiana. For the next three months, its uncapped well on the ocean floor spewed millions of gallons of crude oil into the Gulf, ruining fisheries, killing wildlife and soiling miles of coastline.
