We have not had a big one for ten years.
I wonder if an oceanic tug is around to pull the tanker off?
Will the authorities make a complete pig's ear of it like they did with the Sea Empress?

As long as we use fossil fuel for our comfort and livelihood, and as long as this fuel is carried on ships, and as long as the ships sail the seas, and as long as there are sea storms, a disaster sooner or later will occur somewhere in the world and not necessarily in the coast of England. Let us hope that such a disaster is far, far away!

Obama is a political candidate no longer a pacesetter. He sees each thing in political words. His is inept at dealing with disaster as evidenced by technique of his slow and tepid reaction to the oil spill. the position is FEMA? have you ever heard the click factor out FEMA? Bush waived the Jones Act 2 days after Katrina. Robert Gibbs today stated that Obama has no longer waived the Jones Act to allow more effective perfect oil restoration vessels to operate in American waters "because no individual has requested". He should be out of his ideas. yet, the Jones Act calls for American crews on all vessels and the crews are, yep you guessed it, unionized. it is a negative disaster and Obama is incapable of dealing with the reaction on shore. confident BP can take care of offshore, yet Obama might want to were more effective proactive to stay away from oil from attaining shore. it truly is clearly his accountability.

now don't get upset.
but i have it on great authority that regular flights of US transport planes/B52s taking off from Wiltshire, if a hole is discovered in the fuselage ( a team is employed just 4 this job, alone ), they dump in excess of 500 gallons of aviation fuel in the sea.
return 2 base & repeat the whole sorry saga, until they manage 2 complete the journey over the english channel.
this happens so often, it's considered Normal!
the sea & everything living in it, live off it or near it as a consequence, is under treat.
the SEA'S filthy.
i live near the sea & the last announcement regarding the prized Blue Flag was delayed 4 so long, we gave up waiting 4 it!
:(

I'm not going to report you, but questions about pulling things off and tugging are a little inappropriate. There's kids on here for Heaven's sake!
