    Well, as bad as the oil spill out here in Cali is, this oil spill in Russia is worse. It happened in the Kerch Strait, people died and the ship went down with oil to the bottom. At least it was a nasty storm. 20 FT waves and 78 mph winds. :p

    1,000 tons of oil=253,164 gallons, thats a hell of a lot of oil. Oil weighs (depending on density) 7.9lbs per gallon.
