  • This is the platform that spilled the largest oil spill in California history, 3rd largest in the world at this date Aug 2010. The blow out occurred on Jan. 28, 1969. Only the recent Gulf Oil Deepwater Horizon and the Exxon Valdez were larger in the amount of oil released. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1969_Santa_Barbara_oil_spill
