Hazards - mention the landslide caused Tailor Oil Spill as a recent example (2004-2019/still ongoing)?

[edit]

Submarine landslide just off the coast of Louisiana in 2004 destroyed an oil platform which had been leaking ever since. One of the largest and the longest continuous oil spill in recent U.S. history might merit mentioning in the hazards section as a more current example.
