The Gulf oil spill was called a tragedy and an environmental and economic disaster. It certainly was a tragedy. Remember, eleven people lost their lives in the explosion. There was significant environmental and economic damage, but it's looking now like disaster is too strong a term to describe it.

However, the Obama Administration's overly hasty ban on deep-water drilling is shaping up to be the real economic disaster. Would Janet Napolitano call it a "man-caused disaster?"
