The Exxon Valdez Oil spill happened because of a lack of sleep… that’s right… sleep! Gregory (a member of the crew) was sleeping at the helm. He had a 22 hour shift loading the oil on to the ship and then was reported to only have had a catnap in the last 16 hours leading up to the crash. He fell asleep and did not steer the ship out of danger.
– a massive oil spill
- a sunk ship

Get some proper sleep people!!
