All it took was for two people to see the damage from an airplane -- and they knew, Earth Day just HAD to be created. 🌎
This past January and February marked the 53rd anniversary of one of the country’s worst environmental disasters.Cities around the U.S. and world have already held, or will hold, events before the end of April to commemorate Earth Day, which is officially Friday.
The spill kept going into February and at the time was the largest oil spill ever in U.S. waters, but has since been surpassed by the 1989 Exxon Valdez and 2010 Deepwater Horizon spills.The source was a blowout on Union Oil’s Platform A in an offshore oil field that saw between 80,000 and 10,000 barrels of crude oil spilled over a 10-day span.
Over the next five years, multiple lawsuits were filed against Union Oil to help pay for the damages.
