BP Oil Spill, old news, literally.













The BP oil spill may have made some Global headlines, but lets not forget, this is not the first oil spill the world has seen. In fact, Planet Earth has experienced oil spills since 1967, and these are just the recorded ones.

The Mariner Group has a list of most of the oil spills all over the world. You can check that out by clicking here.

But for now, I thought I would remind you about the Exxon Valdez oil spill back in March of '89. If you dont recall this oil spill, let me refresh your memory: The Valdez was positioned off the coast of Alaska when it ran aground spilling 10.8 million gallons of oil along the Alaskan coastline, according to Associatedcontent.com. Even better, they list this as only the 35th worst oil spill in history.
Just so you know, there way are over 100 oil spills recorded.

I wonder where BP will rank?


P.S. wanna know the biggest joke on youtube? BP has their own youtube channel. Here.
