ExxonMobil Eases Arkansas Oil Spill No-Fly Zone

HeadlineApr 05, 2013

The oil giant ExxonMobil claims it is now easing its no-fly zone over its massive oil spill near Mayflower, Arkansas. The no-fly zone was granted at the company’s request after the leak of thousands of barrels of oil last Friday. It is controlled by Tom Suhrhoff, an Exxon official. After enforcing it for two days, Exxon said Thursday the no-fly zone will be opened up to some members of the media. Exxon’s ruptured Pegasus pipeline remains shut down as cleanup efforts continue.
