I know that the oil spill off the coast of Louisiana is such a huge headline and everyone can find tons of information about oil spills since this one is so prominent in the news but I wanted to still do a little self-exploration. Do the pictures below make you think of some possible alien invasion? It kind of makes me think of this but the spills in these two pictures have also turned the coasts into alien-like environments too.
This morning I read a blog post about the 5 worst oil spills and I was surprised at all of them. Here is a
link to the blog post I read. According to their list the Exxon Valdez is #5 but it was the only one of the top 5 that I had even heard of.
I did a little reading about each of the other four and I found another link that had information about a lot more oil spills over the last 45 years. Here is the
link to that one. I thought it was interesting that many of these were recent enough (last 15 years) that I felt I should have heard about more of them but our news in the US is so focused on our country that many of these just never made the broader headlines like the spill now is. It makes me wonder if the current spill is getting news headlines in other parts of the world yet?
