Explanation: The worst oil spill in history wasn’t an accident —it was deliberate. During the Gulf War in 1991, as Iraqi forces retreated from Kuwait, they opened the valves of oil wells and pipelines in a bid to slow the onslaught of American troops. The result was the largest oil spill history has seen. Some 240 million gallons of crude oil flowed into the Persian Gulf. |
