The Exxon Valdez Accident
The Exxon Valdez ran aground in Prince William Sound on March 24, 1989. Captain Joe Hazelwood was found to be drinking straight vodka before the accident. He would face criminal charges of operating a vessel while intoxicated and reckless endangerment. If convicted at trial, he could have faced up to 12 years in prison. On this week's show, Business Movers looks at how Exxon dealt with the oil spill.
