@historicallytoday: March 24, 1989: One of the worst oil spills in U.S. history begins when the supertanker Exxon Valdez, owned and operated by the Exxon Corporation, runs aground on a reef in Prince William Sound in southern Alaska. An estimated 11 million gallons of oil eventually spilled into the water. #oilspill #news #onthisday #alaska #exxonvaldez #fyp #foryou #trending
