Most Exxon Valdez oil spill workers are Dead

[stillkit]

Ummm....the Exxon Valdez cleanup was 21 years ago. Since most of the workers weren't all that young to start with, wouldn't it seem logical that a lot of them have died during that length of time?

I don't even have to look it up and can tell you that is fake claim, all the workers dying would be cause for massive class action lawsuit. The lawyers would be crawling all over this like a bunch of parasites they are.

I can't find any mention in the video on who this "expert" is.

Yup - Absurd.

Sometimes hard to disprove really absurd claims...because no one in their right mind would have worked the issue. And, as it is completely untrue, it does not come up in the normal course of events as it would if true.

I'll bet alot of Exxon Valdez clean up crews have people who have died prematurely from clean up related causes. I'll bet the Ground Zero clean up workers have people suffering diseases and other symptoms of the clean up that has some of them dying prematurely. I'll bet some of the clean up workers in the Gulf of Mexico will also die from exposure to toxins during the cleanup.

And it happens everyday, everywhere, all across the country. This wont be the first clean up where people die from exposure to toxins. In order to not be held liable those responsible will go to great lengths to avoid any responsibility for any medical expenses, outright denying responsibility.
