This Sunday is the five-year anniversary of Lehman Brothers filing for the largest bankruptcy in American history. The ensuing financial crisis eventually led to a $700 billion government bailout and plunged the country into the worst recession since the Great Depression.

Journalist Stanley Reed, who has covered BP for over a decade, and investigative reporter Alison Fitzgerald discuss disasters at the oil company BP—from last year's blowout in the Gulf of Mexico to previous oil spills and explosions—and look at what the future might hold for the oil company. Their book In Too Deep: BP and the Drilling Race That Took it Down is an account of the company and the problems that have plagued it.
