Today is the 35th anniversary of the #ExxonValdez disaster. The official story is, “Drunken Skipper Hits Reef.” Don’t believe it. https://www.gregpalast.com...

The Fable of the Drunken Captain serves the oil industry well. It falsely presents America’s greatest environmental disaster as a tale of human frailty, a one-time accident.

But broken radar, missing equipment, phantom spill teams, faked tests — the profit-driven disregard of the law — made the spill an inevitability, not an accident.

Days after the #ExxonValdez slimed 1,200 miles of Alaska’s coastline, I was in Prince William Sound, launching an investigation for the Chugach Natives of Alaska. It was their coastline.

This is the real story that remains largely untold...
