The national consumer advocacy group Food & Water Watch recently filed its long awaited lawsuit against BP in federal court for violating a number of federal laws in the operation of the BP Atlantis oil and gas platform, one of the largest of its kind in the world.

“We have evidence that Atlantis is unsafe and is in danger of creating an even worse spill than the one caused by the Deepwater Horizon explosion,” said Wenonah Hauter, Executive Director of Food & Water Watch. “Tony Hayward’s failure to be forthcoming when Congress questioned him about Atlantis and BP’s inconsistent statements over the last year are an indication that they are hiding the dangerous truth about Atlantis.”
