What Does 184 Million Gallons of Oil Look Like?
CNBC had this great image bringing into focus what the total amount of oil spilled into the Gulf due to BP’s rig. It does a great job of giving some tangible idea of what exactly is 184 million gallons relative to the Gulf Coast.
“If The Gulf Was A Football Stadium…
If the Gulf of Mexico – the 7th largest body of water in the world, containing approximately 660 quadrillion gallons of water (that’s 660 with 15 zeros) – was represented by Cowboys Stadium in Dallas – the largest domed stadium in the world – how would the spill stack up?
In this example, the amount of oil spilled - if the Gulf of Mexico was the size of Cowboys Stadium – would be about the size of a 24 ounce can of beer.”
My only complain is why they had to pick the friggin’ Cowboys (yes, I am an Eagles fan)!
