Alaska hit by 'massive' oil spill

Amazing how the MSM swept it under the rug, and even many here at DU have forgotten about it,

An oil spill discovered at Prudhoe Bay field is the largest ever on Alaska's North Slope region, US officials say.
They estimate that up to 267,000 gallons (one million litres) of crude leaked from a corroded transit pipeline at the state's northern tip.

The spill was detected on 2 March and plugged. Local environmentalists have described it as "a catastrophe".

3. If the corporate media doesn't report it...does it really happen?

That's just not news worthy when we've got Jessica and Nick breaking up.

4. 1. It was Clinton's fault, and 2. Hussein killed more Iraqis than that.

Republican logic at work.
