BP Agrees To Pay $18.7 Billion (Over 18 Years) For 2010 Gulf Disaster

More than five years after an explosion at the Deepwater Horizon oil well in the Gulf of Mexico left eleven people dead and released untold amounts of oil into the water, BP has agreed to make $18.7 billion in payments — spread out over nearly two decades — to settle all federal and state claims related to the disaster.

Hey BP - can I have some? I was supposed to vacation on the Gulf Coast and that spill killed my plans and I had to cancel. It cause me all sorts of mental distress and consternation. I think $35,000 - $40,000 woould work. Please call me at BR549
