Mar 24, 1989: In one of worst oil spills in recent history, the tanker, Exxon Valdez, ran aground and released 240,000 barrels of oil into Prince William Sound.
Today marks the 23rd anniversary of one of the most disastrous environmental events in history--the Exxon Valdez oil spill.
As a result of the disaster, Congress passed the Oil Pollution Act of 1990, which tightened regulations on oil vessels and their owners.
