The Real Story of the Exxon Valdez Spill

After the Exxon Valdez spill, 90 or 91 people file a class action lawsuit against Exxon. To prove that you've been harmed by the oil spill, you have to document that your livelihood depends on commercial fishing and that commercial fishing was damaged. This lawsuit ends up going on for 14 years, ends up going to the Supreme Court. And it sets a precedent for the next time this happens, it will be so much worse.
