I used to work in a maritime related field - Exxon, BP and most of the other oil companies were in my membership. From the sidelines, I couldn't begin to tell you about the frustration in watching them get away with the things they did ... corruption in this field doesn't begin to describe it.

Exxon was supposed to pay the locals for their losses, and managed to skirt around it. They didn't pay close to what they were supposed to ... after twenty years of appeals, they ended up paying a little more than the cost of 'cleanup'. It's outrageous. And Alaska still suffers from the spill - twenty years later - and that spill wasn't as big as this one.

Ugh.
