BP recently settled civil lawsuits over the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill to the tune of more than 18 billion dollars. But it\'s not the end of the story for the worst marine spill in U.S. history. Journalist and author\\xa0Antonia Juhasz recently took a submersible to the floor of the Gulf of Mexico \\u2014 closer to the BP Macondo well-head than anyone had gotten since it was sealed five years ago. Her story in the June issue of Harper\'s Magazine details what she\\xa0didn\'t\\xa0see down there \\u2014 any vibrant sea life \\u2014 as well as what she\\xa0did\\xa0see: a huge carpet of oil 3,000 square miles in size. And evidence indicates that\\xa0companies are preparing to resume drilling in the region. Juhasz has been monitoring energy companies for over a decade, and has seen how routine spills have become, but as she explains to host Alec Baldwin, she still feels\\xa0shock and anger over the ongoing impacts of these spills on\\xa0the environment.\\xa0\\xa0
