MSNBC - Deadly shipwreck now a major Alaska oil spill: "The freighter was carrying 483,000 gallons of heavy bulk fuel and another 21,000 gallons of diesel fuel.
While small compared to the 11 million gallon Exxon Valdez disaster in 1989, the marine spill is thought to be the largest in Alaska since then.
Fredriksson hoped the rough seas could help break up some of the oil and disperse it to the open sea. 'That may be a good thing, in terms of shoreline impact,' he said."
This is totally wild! Consider this a proposed new business idea: Engineer tanker linings that does not just breach because of water current, and engineer better tanker hulls! Jeezum, this is another modern-man disaster against nature.
