- legitster 2y agoWhile there's certainly some cleanup for the crew to do (the article says it's already 20% done) this is still a relatively small spill and probably pales in comparison to the contamination already created by gas stations in the region.
- op00to 2y agoPlease correct me if I misread, but I thought the article said 20% of the oil was recovered, not that cleanup and restoration was 20% complete. Full restoration is rarely possible, and cleanup can take decades as there is a very long tail of activities.
