- In what was the biggest tanker spill of its time, the wreck of the supertanker Exxon Valdez in the pristine water of Alaska’s Prince William Sound poured over 11 million gallons of crude oil into the calm waters. CNN investigates what happened on that fateful night. #CNN #News
I remember this and lived up in Anchorage,Alaska when it happened when i was just a kid. I was born and rased in Anchorage,Alaska for 17 years. Anyway,The captain,Joseph Hazelwood of the Valdez was sentenced to work at Brother Francis/Bean's cafe,a homeless shelter and soup kitchen in Anchorage as punishment for this disaster and he was fined $50,000. They let him off super easy,IMO. This was one of the worst ecological disaster in history. Even 35 years later,they are cleaning it up. He died about 2 years ago on July,21st,2022 from both C's. Cancer and Covid-19.
So, which one. Cancer or Covid?
@@smilesnow4593Ever heard of pre-existing conditions (e.g. cancer) increasing susceptibility (e.g. immunocompromise) to infection (e.g. covid). What exactly did your comment accomplish?
@@smilesnow4593 Cancer and COVID you 🤡. My family member had cancer, congestive heart failure, double pneumonia. So which one killed them? It's called multiple diagnosis 🤡🤡.
@@smilesnow4593 i think both C's Cancer and Covid
I'm so glad this video is still available. This was such a devastating event for the marine ecosystem and for people. 35 years ago.
Having worked on freighters and navigated around the globe I can tell you that during a passage through a canal or indeed a shipping lane like that one, no matter how many times you' ve done it, you need to be on top of your game and the captain must be present at all time, awake and sober, complacency leads to disaster, he's got zero excuses...
The oil not only effected Alaska it went all the way down the Western Seaboard all the way down passed California
Humans are their own worst enemies. Greed and Avarice are surely not helping.
That North Face jacket she is wearing is made out of oil?
@@davemitchell6281well no shit huh cpt obvious

Where is bassem Youssef interview????
The worst part is the animals suffering
He got let off way too easy, his decision-making basically murdered all those poor animals an impacted countless people vary significantly. His fine was a joke along with the community service.
After 25 years, still denying he's an ALCOHOLIC 😡🤮😡🤮😡🤮😡🤮😡😡🤮
I was saying the same. He can't accept he is or was drunk.
That's not you who decides if he's an alcoholic, you can be an abuser without being an alcoholic. I don't drink but I have been a heavy drinker.
I remember when this happened well.
Although the captain may have not been significantly impaired, alcohol does make you relaxed and tired.
He might have stayed on the bridge had he not had those drinks.
Realistically though, if he was still over the limit 10 hours after the incident and he hadn't had any more to drink, he must have been WAY over the limit during the crash.
He was the captain it was his fault. The captain is in charge of his crew and ship. No one else he failed then exon failed then the state of Alaska failed in the cleanup. If you allow mining pumping or any risky ventures it is the state’s responsibility to address any problem caused by that venture not with tax dollars but with resources extracted from the venture in a bond to execute cleanup and economic damages.
And yet we still haven't learnt a bloody thing from it🤔
Wrong, Tankers are now All Double Hulled, and many new regulations came into effect as a direct result of this disaster.
Prior to the Exxon Valdez, I was employed with Exxon Marie Dept . I was on the Exxon Huston that came to relieve some of the oil that was still contained in the Valdez Valdez
I don’t believe the captain right from the get go, he’s talking about how he went to the bridge and immediately puked in the toilet because he felt like he was kicked in the stomach? I don’t believe that actually happened and he added that in to get sympathy and to try and make himself look better. Or it was from drinking. Either way I would want to hear about a captain who came up and immediately took control and was decisive and knew what to do, a competent captain. He just makes himself look like he didn’t know what he was doing and wasent trained well enough..
It made me sick at the time, and still does. And Exxon are still making record profits. The world of big business today.
Thank you
He was not the only guilty one, his crew and employers must have known he was a drunk.
Alcohol tests 10 hours after the accident!!!?? What would the level have been immediately after the accident?
I remember after this happened, my parents switched to Dawn dish detergent. They were using it to clean all the wildlife.
I grew up on Long Island along with Hazelwood. It was big news and gossip around that time.
Wow, that’s $27,000 per person if they divide that money straight up but hold up don’t forget the lump sum the lawyer gonna take so everybody will be lucky to even see $13,000 each smh said the one who really made the money is is the lawyer
Hazlewood's "emergency call" to the Coast Guard sounds like he is more than three sheets to the wind. If I were on his jury, this would be a factor tending to make me believe he was that much closer to criminal negligence (at best). Three drinks would be enough to put him over the limit for blood alcohol if he were driving a car; driving that ship under the influence of three vodkas on the rocks was much more dangerous.
As workers would come to clean don't think no operation took place evident U.S and Russia in Alaska.
The caption is not the only professional who's been charged w/ dui. But, we must forgive him for making a mistake bc how can we expect to be forgiven for our mistakes if we can't forgive others for theirs? The captain must forgive himself too. I wish him well
I'm glad I watched this about that spill. I do remember the effects on the marine animals. That was sad. It's sad that we the people are so greedy for oil.
How to notice an evil person: they are invested in oil.
Crazy
Republican deregulation caused this....
An alcoholic doesn't need to constantly crave a drink. Binge drinkers can be alcoholics also. He had enough alcohol in him that it could be smelled 2 feet away.
Exxon still hasn’t paid
If he still blew above the limit ten hours later then he was definitely hammered during the accident.
Yup.
‘MAN’ will ultimately be our demise.
There is a pyramid in Alaska and much more still undiscovered.
Planned for region Alaska
When this happen my brother work on great lakes said this give everybody bad rap about this still today in calgary alberta dowtown oil company still talk about sad.😮
Are samples still being taken of the ecosystem?
Blood and tissue from the plants and animals including the humans.
So how do the beaches get cleaned?
Or can they?
Its a disaster.
@@davemitchell6281
Yes and sadly not the only one and not the only kind.
I know in my state where any type of earthworm is an invasive species...they have found plastics in the worms in wilderness areas.
I so not think we know how completely we have screwed the planet.
I am fighting my second type cancer.
My mom died of her third type.
What we do to the web we do to ourselves.
They can’t ever really clean it up. It’s estimated that only 7% of the spill has been recovered. It dispersed over thousands of miles of coastline.
Captains should be observing all course corrections. Alcohol rules should apply to pilots of ships like aircraft. Should have been SOP. Practice safety procedures or find out deficiencies the hard way. And never say never!
Wasn’t the Captain drunk?? and they had to pay out a whole Lotta money
believe in Google? I asked, What is plastic made of and why is it harmful?
Almost all plastics are made from chemicals that come from the production of planet-warming fuels (gas, oil and even coal). Our reliance on plastic therefore prolongs our demand for these dirty fuels. Burning plastics in incinerators also releases climate-wrecking gases and toxic air pollution.
And they still richer than a muhfuh
I don't know why he couldn't just see the ship through the crossing and then let the third mate take over. Maybe the alcohol contributed to this
You like to trust your crew people and he could’ve been exhausted. I commercial fish in Prince William Sound, right around Bligh Reef, and I am routinely left up to piloting the boat when my captain is tired. Granted it’s not a 900+ foot tanker, but still. Simple directions were given, you think the guy is fine and it turns out he wasn’t. Mistakes do happen. Think of many times a tanker has entered and left Valdez since this accident and how many issues there have been. The success rating is through the roof…the downside is just that when a mistake does happen, it’s huge.
Why do people always refer to abusing drugs and or alcohol when it’s the exact opposite drugs and alcohol abuse you. Those 2 things have ruined countless lives and I have yet to meet anyone that has ruined drugs or alcohol there’s a never ending supply of both as a matter of fact
A drunk captain.
So sad for wildlife

I am not watching this. The Captain was drew and so were the crew.
Not human plan but course
I want to sea in the merchant Marine . How many years. The first part of my career going to sea . We're on the older brake bulk ships. Toward the end of my career I went on the tankers 2 valdese where the money was. And I know that Prince William sound . Valdez narrows. The really nasty weather we had to deal with anyways. From what I understand and the shortest way I can explain in a nutshell. Talking to the people who are on the vessel. Right off the bat Hazelwood is lying. He was passed out. You left the bridge way too early you left the second mate . In charge of the bridge who was on March while they were and a ice field and Prince William sound. The people that told me what happened was the second mate was so involved watching the radar watching for icebergs. He was not watching. Closely enough course comands . The sailor that was on the wheel or that was driving the boat the ship was incompetent. He was a very bad quartermaster. He didn't know what he was doing. You say you have a compass. He was givencourse changes. Any went the wrong way to steer that course. Anyway of Hazelwood would not love the bridge. And would have been sober. Because this person that was their said Hazelwood had a bad problem of being drunk all the time. And turning the ship over early he drank heavy in port hell he was drunk all the time I heard.. he should have been made accountable he was drunk when his accident happened. I can't remember if they gave him a breathalyzer but I think by the time the Coast guard got there the alcohol wore off he's lying if he says he's sober he should have been held accountable and did at least 10 years in prison you're lucky we can't be accountable I make people accountable for the bad things they do they're going to keep doing them that goes with everything
Why is this so repetitive? Unwatchable
Which one are you? I'm you only worse.

thanks for the disaster guys. F Exxon
He should have been put in PRISON for 30 YEARS 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
The other day my kid was taking a bath and I pooped in his tub. His mom thought he did it and was screaming. Also it wasn't my kid, I don't know whose kid it was. It wasn't even my house. And the mom might have been screaming because I was in her house with my pants down. I don't know, I was really drunk. Just like the captain of this ship.
I still dont gwt it did he poop or did you
Wow, we are going back in history on this one.
LMFAO!!! They were having a meeting about spending money on the ship & whether to upgrade to stop from likely "Immanent" danger because the ship is not of standards for the job.
At that same city for that meeting the ship hits & starts 1 of the worst ecological disasters we've see!
these companies have shown time & time again that they cannot be trusted with public safety because profits always win out. BEOING
Less environmental risk with the use of renewable energy such as solar.
Laughable nonsense
@@andrew300169 🤌
So you have done absolutely zero research into your claims. Keep coming back.
@@treeglass Defenders of fossil fuels (Coal, oil & natural gas) argue that fossil fuels inherently come from clean natural solar energy; that was once metabolized by now deceased carbon based lifeforms. This green washing does not justify the environmental pollution, climate change, extreme weather events and harm to our health that comes from the use of fossil fuels. The combustion of fossil fuels emit harmful emissions that pollute the air we breathe with carbon dioxide, irritants and particulate matter. There is a better alternative; we can obtain free abundant clean renewable energy directly from the 4.6 billion year old inexhaustible sun which is expected to last another 5 billion years.
Clean solar PV energy is 100% emissions free, has no mechanical moving parts, requires no fossil fueled transportation, no vibrations, no noise, no combustion, no pollution, no fumes, no thermal discharge waste, no odors, does not heat water to turn steam turbines . . .
