Any news on the oil spill in the Mississippi? |
|
Yesterday there were articles about a big spill just south of New Orleans on the Mississippi. I just searched for some articles on it from yesterday but couldn't find them, let alone any new news. Granted there are a lot of other things going on, but it sounded pretty serious & I haven't heard peep about it today.

2. thanks, that's the article I read & these quotes really stood out: |
|
"The department initially estimated that total capacity could be 1 million barrels each but later reduced that to 80,000 each...The Exxon Valdez spill in Alaska in 1989 involved about 250,000 barrels of oil."
