Today in Peace and Justice history on March 17, 1978

The oil supertanker Amoco Cadiz ran aground and, in the worst oil spill ever, lost its entire cargo of 1,619,048 barrels (223,000 tons). A slick 18 miles wide and 80 miles long polluted approximately 200 miles of France’s Brittany coastline. http://bit.ly/Zjt2ty
