What are the worst oil spills in history?
This is a very interesting question because I just took a test on oil in the Middle East a week ago. One of the worst oil spills happened during the Persian Gulf War (1990) when Iraq invaded Kuwait. There was an estimated amount of lost oil of 4,000,000 to 6,000,000 barrels of oil spilled. The "BP oil spill" (April to July 2010) leaked 62,000 barrels of oil a day. It covered 182 square miles of the Gulf of Mexico with thick oil The classic tanker accident was the Exxon Valdez in 1989, which spilled as much as 500,000 barrels of oil into Prince William Sound in Canada. The exact amount is disputed because a mix of oil and seawater was pumped out of the ship.
