How many square miles did the oil spill cover at its largest?
1. 0 Votes      Satellite images show that the visible oil slick
on the surface of the ocean covered 817 square miles at it’s
peak.  The slick reached as far away as 50 miles from the point
of origin.  On top of the 817 miles of oil coverage, there was
also an additional 80 miles “kill zone” where no sea life was
able to survive because of the shear volume of oil in the water.
