The biggest oil spill in history - 10 lines
I found this very small article in the "60 Seconds" section of the New Scientist. Seems like there is some kind of a media coverup going on as it doesn't seem to have been reported elsewhere. Or maybe nobody cares about Alaska:
Oil clean-up on ice
Extreme cold has hampered efforts to clean up the oil spill on Alaska's northern coast - the largest ever recorded. By Tuesday, 230,000 litres of crude oil had been recovered after the ruptured pipeline was discovered two weeks ago at a site operated by BP Exploration (Alaska). Around 950,000 litres of oil were spilt.
If anyone has any more information about this, please leave me a comment...

I think concerned citizens specially those who live near Alaska should make everyone aware or at least be noisy about it to such extent that it will draw attention.
Not only the local citizens, but those people who are aware of the event should also be on a campaign that will result in an action. This would likely lead to an investigation.
