The Day The Water Died - Sierra Club Chronicles

Uploaded by bravenewfilms on Jun 7, 2006
March 24, 1989 will forever plague history as one of the worst environmental disasters of our time. Eleven million gallons of oil spilled into the Prince William Sound killing thousands of wildlife and destroying a complex and delicate ecosystem. Exxon promised they would clean up the spill and promised that those affected would get their lives back. Sixteen years later and the people are still waiting for their lives to become "whole" again.

This was not just a failure on the part of a negligent company: this was a failure on the part of negligent -regulators- the state of Alaska, the Feds, the USCG, all share responsibility for turning a blind eye to Exxon. This is a story of corporate influence over government regulators in order to maximize profit. This is NOT a story of a drunk sea captain, the focus on Hazelwood was all an Outside -based media could do to portray (simplify) a tremendously complex situation, to make a sale.

WE are killing our planet. Our responsibility lies with eliminating - or at least reducing dependence on fossil fuels, buy electric vehicles. We MUST take this issue serious, now or face a harrowing future. twitter aheneghana

i cant belive my science teacher made me watch this whole fricken thing

I can't f***ing believe ExxonMobil got away with this scott free. the court threw out the case.
yet when some animal liberator frees a few mink from cages he's automatically a violent terrorist and gets 20 years. ExxonMobil owns america. lock stock and barrel
This is why i refuse to give Exxon or Mobil any biz at all. I'll go hungry before i buy a single sandwich from them. I'll be stranded and walk 20 miles before I buy any of their gas
It's so tragic, I actually cried when I first saw this

same but most americans dont really give a shit about much at least thats how i feel about this world

They are what they are, but you have to look at the information. This place was not cleaned up and people are damaged by this. I wish people could sometimes look past the source of information and learn as much as they can about the truth.

Let´s use the power of the internet and youtube and HURT Exxon in a financial way by boycotting them. I will NEVER ever buy petrol from Exxon Mobile. I will tell everyone that I know about this sad story and how Exxon is dragging this on while destroying peoples lives. The true power is in our hands not theirs!
