In just five minutes, we uncover the human errors and corporate negligence that led to the disaster, the immediate and long-lasting ecological devastation, and the impact on local communities and wildlife. Join us as we explore one of the most infamous oil spills in history and its enduring legacy on environmental awareness and regulation.
