March 24, 1989 Fairbanks Daily News-Miner. The big story: Governor Steve Cowper won’t run for reelection. Below the fold: oil spill in Prince William Sound. My memory is that it was the lead story on Alaska Public Radio. @ANC_Historian

36 years ago today. I was the Chief Photographer at the ABC station in Anchorage. I will never forget our plane dropping out of the clouds over the wreck of the Exxon Valdez and being horrified at what we saw. I took this picture several months later as they were getting ready to tow it back to California. Today--not a mention in the local paper. #Alaska #ExxonValdez
why is #exxon #mobile spending millions of dollars on Tee Vee advertising how "wonderful" their products are and how they drive you into your future ??
F*** you! #bigoil
Time to make you pay for the damage done to our Earth!

made it home in time to mark the #ExxonValdez disaster & reflect on the unquantifiable luxury of relatively clean water all around us in coastal Alaska
Today is the 35th anniversary of the Exxon Valdez disaster. The official story is, “Drunken Skipper Hits Reef.” Don’t believe it.
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: https://www.gregpalast.com/dont-buy-exxons-fable-of-the-drunken-captain-2/
35 years ago today, the Exxon Valdez had a "minor" drunk driving accident that changed our state. Not a single mention on the ADN website. Never forget. #Alaska #ExxonValdez #Oil
Alaskans of a certain age will recall where they were 35 years ago today. Never forget.

This one goes out to the arrogant cu*ts at Exxon.
@breadandcircuses
I bet #Exxon also believes it's car-owners' fault that the #ExxonValdez ran aground and spilled a bazillion gallons of #oil in Alaska.
Makes perfect sense. 
The original, decrepit #OilTanker contained four times as much oil as was spilled in 1989 #ExxonValdez disaster off #Alaska
