Oil Spill in SF Bay


After emergency in Pakistan, it is time to look around where we live. A massive oil spill has hit San Francisco Bay area. Apparently, a tanker named Cosco Busan stuck bay bridge. The coast guard first said that it spilled 140 gallons and later revised to 58,000 gallons. Emergency workers are helping the cleanup around the bay area.

This is not as serious as the Exxon Valden oil spill, or the Karachi oil spill.
