[quote]More than 300 barges were awaiting passage through a closed section of the Mississippi River near Vicksburg, Mississippi, on Monday, a day after two tanker barges struck a railroad bridge and one leaked an unknown amount of oil into the river.[/quote]

Good job guys. Can we go more than 3 years between oil spills please?
I live next to the river; I'm glad this is downstream
And here I was thinking the Mississippi River Delta couldn't get anymore toxic.
I was scared that this would be in MN. Pleasantly surprised
At least this is nowhere near the scale of the Deepwater Horizon spill.

Amount leaked is unknown. And the Mississippi flows to where the water was affected the most by Deepwater. The coast off Louisiana is just completely fucked at this point.

Was fucked before the Deepwater Horizon spill. That was just another nail in the coffin. The Mississippi river dumps each year causing this dead zone.

The Mississippi river is basically a sewage dump for all of America's farms.
Mississippi is a very long word, but can you spill it?
