Spillage on the River
23 July, 2008
Did New Orleans really need one more thing to clean up? It’s not even funny.
From the article:
“The collision between the Liberian-flagged chemical tanker Tintomara and the barge pushed by the tug Mel Oliver happened about 1:30 a.m. CT (2:30 a.m. ET) Wednesday, splitting the barge nearly in half and dumping more than 419,000 gallons of oil into the river, the Coast Guard said.”
Jee whiz.
“The accident left a sheen of oil over much of the river and its banks, and skimmers have been deployed to suck the oil off the river’s surface, Blue said.”
Like the River wasn’t dirty enough to begin with.
