So by the time i got to work, i knew all about it. First reaction was disbelief. How could this happen . And the second reaction was just shock at the enormity of it. They spilled, i think, 11 million gallons of oil and covered, like, 11,000 square miles of ocean. Before it was done. The scale was inconceivable until it happened.
