I might be mistaken, but I don't recall that spill reaching the gulf stream and fouling up Atlantic coastal waters.

At 4:16 the anchor says this was a "Mexican" spill. Operation Sombrero. Mexicans are officially idiots too???

It was the exact same company that had the spill in 79 that has caused this one.
An american mega corporation.
Sedco, who later changed their name to Transocean.
Same company, same area, same mistakes !

Chicken Little, you need to check your facts. Sedco was never Transocean.

Sedco Forex merged with Transocean. It's like a man marrying a woman: the man is never the woman.

Jeez.
