Identify.Answer: Captain Joseph Hazelwood of the notorious Exxon Valdez. The ship spilt nearly 11 million gallons of crude oil in Prince William Sound, Alaska. The spill spread over 11,000 square miles of ocean. Iam, Adi, Rajesh, Raghu, Mekhala, Vikrant and QoD got it. Well done.

Exxon Valdez Oil Spill
Exxon Valdez and Captain Joseph Hazelwood.
Joseph Hazelwood of Exxon Valdez oil spill fame.
That's an oil spill - so, it is the ship Exxon Valdez captained by Joseph Hazelwood which spilt 41M liters of crude oil near the Gulf of Alaska after hitting the Bligh reef. This oil spill killed around 250,000 seabirds, nearly 3,000 sea otters, 300 harbour seals, 250 bald eagles and up to 22 killer whales.
exxon valdez and captain hazelwood?
i'm guessing either the titanic or the exxon valdez....
based on the picture i'm going with exxonvaldez
I just came across this comparison:
Approximately $80,000 was spent on the rehabilitation of every sea otter affected by this Exxon Valdez oil spill.
This is about 10 times the condolence amount offered by the U.S. military to the family of an Afghan killed.
