BP board game predicts gulf oil spill disaster.
(FOX 25 / MyFoxBoston.com) – A BP board game called ‘Offshore Oil Strike’ from the 1970s may have actually predicted what is now being called the worse environmental disaster in our nation’s history.
The object of the game is to become an oil tycoon by digging for oil offshore.
According to the UK’s Metro , in the game – which is is very rare – players try to avoid ‘hazard cards’, which say things like ‘Blow-out! Rig damaged. Oil slick clean-up costs. Pay $1million.’
The British company has now seen its costs from the spill reach $3.12 billion, a figure that doesn’t include a $20 billion fund for damages the company created last month.
Twenty-seven nations have offered clean-up assistance to the U.S., including Canada, China, Israel, Japan, Mexico, Russia and the United Arab Emirates.
An estimated 1.6 million to 3.6 million barrels of oil (67 million to 153 million gallons) have already poured into the Gulf from some 5,000 feet below the surface since the April 20 explosion of BP’s Deepwater Horizon rig.

There are 3 leaks in the gulf well – Media makes it sound like there’s only one leak
Coast Guard: BP Caps 1 of 3 Leaks at Gulf Well – ABC News.
The Coast Guard says BP PLC has managed to cap one of three leaks at a deepwater oil well, but the work is not expected to reduce the overall flow of oil into the Gulf of Mexico.
Coast Guard Petty Officer 1st Class David Mosley says the work Tuesday night should reduce the number of leak points that need to be fixed on the ocean floor. BP officials have said that fewer leaks will make it easier to drop a containment box on the breach.
The well has been spewing at least 210,000 gallons per day since an April 20 explosion at a rig 50 miles off Louisiana.
