BP Oil Spill Takes Its Toll on Pensacola
The BP oil spill has spread to Pensacola, Florida, where once-white beaches are now blotted with oily tar balls. Tourists are canceling their vacations, and the hit could cost local hotels and business owners millions of dollars this summer. Meanwhile, residents in Pensacola are wondering why BP workers are not cleaning their beaches. Many residents are arriving with buckets and collecting tar balls at the water's edge. BP officials announce they will not be able to stop the oil from leaking until August, but have agreed to a $20 billion victims' compensation fund after pressure from President Barack Obama.
