The Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill is the largest accidental marine oil spill in the history of the petroleum industry, so far. 11 people died and 17 more were injured when the Macondo rig went down. Over the next 3 months, an estimated 4.9 million barrels of crude oil spilled into Gulf waters, comparable to over 20 Exxon Valdez ships. Two years later, more than 450 miles of shoreline are still covered in oil. BP continues to conduct business as usual.

Biologists and other experts say the cull is misguided, and that their studies have been ignored or suppressed. Worse, they warn that although the government is framing the wolf cull as a temporary measure, it has no foreseeable end.”

The Dalian Oil Spill
It took over 15 hours and 1000 firefighters to put out the fire caused by the Dalian Oil Spill. The University of Alaska estimates that over 90,000 tons were spilled, causing an oil slick that covered more than 165 square miles.
