‘Sea of oil’

MALLIPO BEACH, South Korea - Residents and emergency workers used buckets to remove dense crude oil from South Korea’s western shore as the Coast Guard struggled in high waves and strong winds to contain the country’s largest oil spill Saturday.

The oil was reaching scenic and ecologically sensitive areas. At Mallipo — one of South Korea’s best-known beaches — tides of dark sea water crashed ashore, while the odor could be smelled a half-mile away. Hundreds of troops, police and residents were engaged in cleanup efforts there.

Oil was still trickling out of the tanker hit Friday, but Kim Woon-tae, a Coast Guard official, said the last of three holes would soon be sealed completely. The Coast Guard headquarters had said Friday that all three punctured containers on the tanker were plugged.

Sure there's a reply. I can always count on you when you get drunk and log in to make a comment on any and every thread on the board.

In an effort to maximize the situation, South Korea has agreed to sell the spilled oil to British Petroleum at a reduced cost. A spokesman from BP stated that it works out great for them because it saves them the trouble of watering down their gas.
