So far it is still a larger spill than the Deepwater Horizon mess. There were oiled coastlines from Campeche to Padre Island in Texas.

I say when they pay up for that mess -adjusted for inflation in the meantime- then somebody can start to think about compensating them for current expenses.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04392691677629054987noreply@blogger.com
