Hmmm...sounds familiar, doesn't it?

To put this in perspective, 2500 tonnes is about the quantity that appears to be spilling from the Deepwater Horizon well every three days.

The Exxon Valdez spilled about 80 000 tonnes, and the Gulf War spill of 1991 was probably much more than a million tonnes.
