I read about that spill a few weeks ago, there was in article in the Philly Inquire I believe.

It was gigantic - as big or bigger than what we have right now (though we dont really KNOW what we have right now, cause the number keep getting higher and higher!).

According to the newspaper article, if I remember correctly, is that hurricanes actually really helped the spill.. and it dispursed & diluted the oil throughout the water to where it much of a problem from this enormous spill.
