Exxon Valdez
🕑 Added 2025-08-26 04:25:54 +0000 UTCThe Exxon Valdez oil spill was a major environmental disaster that occurred in Alaska's Prince William Sound on March 24, 1989. The spill occurred when Exxon Valdez, an oil supertanker owned by Exxon Shipping Company, bound for Long Beach, California, struck Prince William Sound's Bligh Reef, 6 mi (9.7 km) west of Tatitlek, Alaska at 12:04 a.m. The tanker spilled more than 10 million US gallons (240,000 bbl) (or 37,000 tonnes)[1] of crude oil over the next few days.[2]

At first, I was wondering why Tom wasn’t getting grumpy about the Alaska history lesson—but then I realized it’s just about people dying in the cold. He’s probably taking notes for a future essay, lol.

Timely choice, alas, as these environmental safeguards are being rolled backward. Important to remember things like Valdez.
