The blow-out resulted in an explosion aboard the drilling rig Deepwater Horizon, killing 11 rig workers. Approximately 4.9 million barrels (nearly 206 million gallons) of crude oil gushed from the seafloor for nearly three months. This incident became the largest oil spill in U.S. history. 聽 It's been 25 years since the Exxon Valdez spilled 11 million gallons of crude oil into Prince William Sound, and nearly five years since the explosion of the Deepwater Horizon oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico gushed 200 million gallons of crude oil.
