Johnathon Lawrence · Answer 2

The correct answer is Alaska.

It happened in Prince William Sound just off the coast of Alaska in 1989 when 10.8 million United States gallons of oil was spilled into the ocean. The economy of the place which was mostly based around fishing was ruined and many people claim that they became sick because of it but no evidence of this was found.
