How does the BP oil spill compare with others?
The BP oil spill is the worst Gulf Coast oil spill (second place is Ixtoc-1 in 1979), but it is not the worse spill in the world. Some consider the sinking of US oil tankers by German uboats to be the worst (~1943) , when summed together. Others would consider the Gulf War oil spill, however this was not an accidental oil spill. Wikipedia states the BP oil spilled is between 4.1 to 4.3 million barrels. Other websites quote 4.9 million barrels which is the semi-official estimate of oil from the Macondo well, but BP was able to recover 800,000 barrels, so 4.1 million barrels would appear (at least for now) to be the better estimate. These comparisons are not easy. A spill in the open ocean (as some with some tanker spills) may cause much less environmental damage, than the BP spill. Also, BP was able to skim, burn and disperse some of the spilled oil. See link.
