BP's Gulf battle echoes monster '79 Mexico oil spill.

An explosion in 1979 at the Ixtoc I platform, located 80km (50 miles) off Mexico's Gulf Coast, caused the largest ever peacetime oil spill. It took Pemex, Mexico's state-owned oil company, more than nine months to stop the leak, during which time almost 3.3 million barrels of oil had gushed into the sea. Tens of millions of gallons of oil gushed into the Gulf of Mexico. Numerous attempts to stanch the spill failed.
