This deep water geyser is spurting out 5,000 gallons a day of oil. I believe that's an Exxon Valdez every 10 days.

The last time a deep water blow out was repaired, it took 9 months.

This problem is going to be around for a long, long time.

The Exxon Valdez spilled 10.8 million US gallons of crude oil in Alaska.

The Exxon Valdez doesn’t even make the top 25 of the largest oil spills, just the most media coverage.
