Another day, another spill

South Korea's worst oil spill
The spill has been washing up since Saturday along a 20-kilometer, or 12-mile, shoreline of the nation's west coast. It was about one-fourth the size of the 260,000 barrels, or 11 million gallons, that spilled into Alaska's Prince William Sound fromthe Exxon Valdez in 1989.

sigh!
