MAYFLOWER, Ar. — Between 3,500 and 5,000 barrels of heavy crude oil leaked from a ruptured Exxon Mobil pipeline in Mayflower, Ar. last Friday. Nearly two dozen homes were affected by the spill. According to CNN, Exxon Mobil met with the displaced residents last weekend to discuss how they can repair the damage caused by the spill.
Mobile, Ala. — Carnival Cruise Line experienced another setback on Wednesday after its crippled ship, Carnival Triumph, broke loose from a repair dock and traveled down river before crashing into a cargo ship, according to the Huffington Post. The incident occurred after strong winds blew through Mobile, Ala. that day. In February, the Carnival Triumph went infamously adrift in the Gulf of Mexico for four days, exposing more than 4,000 passengers to food shortages and corridors filled with raw sewage.
