It occurred in Prince William Soun, Alaska on the year 1989. An oil tanker owned by the Exxon Shipping Company struck a reef and spilled 10.8 million gallons of crude oil.

It´s considered to be one of the worst human-caused environmental disasters. Because of its remote location hard to access, the efforts to contain the spill were delayed and polluted over 1,300 miles of shoreline. Despite the efforts made to clean it exterminated much of the wildlife of the area which included, killer whales, salmons, sea otter, bald eagles.

In my opinion, I think the bombs being dropped were necessary. Japan had a strict military system that was hard to make them surrender. It included dying for your country was the most honor you would ever live for and that if you were selected to be a fighter or suicide flyer that you would have to or face serious consequences, not just for you, but extreme humiliation for your family.
