Exxon Valdez Oil Spill

A dead sea otter coated with crude oil from the Exxon Valdez oil spill is found on the beach of Green Island in Prince William Sound, Alaska on April 2, 1989. Nearly 19 years to the day that an Exxon oil tanker hit a reef in Alaska's Prince William Sound, the U.S. Supreme Court will hear one of the final lawsuits left lingering from the nation's worst environmental disaster. On Wednesday, February 27, 2008, the court will hear ExxonMobil's appeal, a 14-year effort that, if successful, would overturn a $2.5 billion punitive damage award, one of the largest ever against a U.S. corporation.
