126,000 gallons of oil leaked from the offshore oil rig six miles from the Huntington Beach California. The situation should be described as a “potential ecologic disaster,” - not much major news coverage of this catastrophic oil spill in the Pacific ocean. " The rig started to leak Friday and was reported by lifeguards who indicated that they smelled significant oil odors in the area. Crews remained onsite overnight Sunday trying to assist with the clean-up, as dead birds and fish coated in oil started to wash ashore."
