Hey everyone!
 
In this episode, Ed makes everyone feel better about themselves by talking about the first ever massive oil tanker crash / spill in history. Yes that is correct in that we're talking about the Torrey Canyon oil tanker tanker that was supposed to be the pinnacle of technology for the day. This ship was also expanded to twice its size only to run aground off the Southwest coast of Great Britain in the early 1960's. 
 
So join us in this epic retelling of one of the most awkward moments in human history where one nation had to call another nation and say, "Hey, um, we got a slight issue that might, if not most likely will affect your coastlines..."
