Worst Oil Spills in World History Infographic

I thought this would help those of us who can relate to a visual representation of the size of the spill in the Gulf. I thought this might put a little more perspective on the current disaster by how it relates in size to others.

I stumbled upon this infographic online here:

I know it's small compared to what's happening in Africa, but it sounds biased.

Tanker Owners?

From London

Sounds fishy , no pun intended

Yeah, I don't really trust this. For one, authorities have been doing everything they can to try and minimize what's going here. Lets see, they tried to limit press access, used ungodly amounts of chemicals to make break the crude up and get it away from the surface and they have continuously lied about the amount of oil being leaked. I'm not sure I can trust many sources when it comes to this oil spill.
