The Deepwater Horizon Disaster

In 2009, a relatively decent Nicolas Cage called Knowing was released, and it starts with a premonition that no scriptwriter could have predicted. In the film, he’s watching TV and sees the coverage of an explosion of an oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico.

One year later, on April 20th, 2010, a nearly a headline that was nearly identical to the fictional one, was all across our screens. The Deepwater Horizon, operating in the Gulf of Mexico, suffered a catastrophic explosion and was leaking oil into the water.
