NEW ORLEANS (WVUE) - Tuesday, April 20, 2021 marks eleven years since the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig exploded in the Gulf of Mexico killing eleven workers and starting the largest oil spill in Gulf history.
A group of cleanup workers are still fighting for help more than a decade later. The images of the massive fire and cleaning crews dominated the summer of 2010 after the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig exploded about 40 miles off the Louisiana coast and sank two days later.
The historic village of Al-Qassar is one of the most important and earliest inhabited settlements on the Red Sea’s Farasan Island. Located only 5 kilometers from Farasan governorate, the centuries-old sandstone village is known for its all-year-round mild climate, abundance of palm and perennial trees, and freshwater wells.
The prominent Abida well is located at the northern entrance to the village, close to a cluster of small food shops and a local fresh fish market. Al-Qassar was originally established as a summer resort, and its residents built their homes in an orderly manner, with 400 houses distributed over five lanes and separated by paths no more than 3 meters wide.
