this happened very close to home, about 1/2 hours drive.

I'm very saddened to hear this...They are still cleaning up after the Exxon Valdez in Alaska. I'm wondering what they will find out about the integrity of the tanker.

That's the fortunate part. It'll make it much easier to clean up. In Valdez, Alaska it was on and around jagged rocks and stone beaches. As well, it was more then just birds affected.

The chinese never have been good at respecting the environment.

I thought it was working for a British firm. It doesn't matter as it is only in the colonies.

Typical media Hype, he was along way away from cyclone, they reckon most of the oil will be cleaned up in a couple of days, dont think its going to be any where as bad as media makes out
