British Petroleum oil tanks along Newton Creek in the Greenpoint section of Brooklyn are visible against the New York City skyline Thursday Feb. 16, 2006. Area residents have filed a lawsuit against oil company giants Exxon, Chevron and BP to clean up an estimated 17-million-barrel underground oil spill, more petroleum than the Exxon Valdez dumped off Alaska, covering an area the size of 41 football fields.
