Anyone know more on this?

You're a lefty eco warrior if you care at all about oil slicks ruining fish and wildlife and our beaches ? Noted.
And so as not to turn this into a General Topics crap slinging fest, I think the size of the tankers sunk has a lot to do with it. Not all were full, and they were generally less than 10,000 tons. The Exxon Valdez, for example, was 200,000 tons.
