Silence in the Sound
Merle Savage narrates her experiences while employed as a general foreman during the Exxon Valdez oil spill clean-up. She describes questionable circumstances, working conditions between supervisors and crew members, attitudes toward women employees, and an unexplained death just before shutdown of operations.
Silence in the Sound
On March 24, 1989, a stunned nation watched in horror as news unfolded that the Exxon Valdez oil tanker had unleashed over one million barrels of crude oil in the waters of Prince William Sound, Alaska. This incident was regarded as the most devastating and controversial oil spill in history, until April 21, 2010 when British Petroleum saturated the Gulf Coast with crude oil. The BP oil spill in the Gulf threatens the residents and cleanup workers with exposure to the toxic chemicals, and like the workers on the Exxon Valdez oil spill cleanup, they will become an oil corporation's Collateral Damaged. "Silence in the Sound" combines unusual personal experiences with a wide gamut of emotions in an environment faced with demanding political and sexual situations, and exposure to toxic crude oil. The book exposes the criminal actions by Exxon when they insisted that the crude oil was not toxic.
