TomTom + 183 January 8, 2018 Damn, it looks like that Iranian oil tanker could be about to explode.... https://oilprice.com/Energy/Energy-General/Iranian-Oil-Tanker-Engulfed-In-Flames-Following-Collision.html Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Carlsbad + 19 CB January 8, 2018 Here we go ... I can only imagine how the various powers that be will latch on to this one and start spinning it. Will we start hearing stories like the tanker was going to illicitly supply North Korea with crude ... or from the other side, the Saudis caused the collision somehow?

TraderTate + 186 TS January 15, 2018 read that it's ... umm ... less damaging than Exxon Valdez ... via bloomberg. Not really much to go on there. That's not exactly enlightening. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-01-14/all-32-people-aboard-burning-oil-tanker-presumed-dead-iran-says?utm_campaign=news&utm_medium=bd&utm_source=applenews Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rodent + 1,424 January 15, 2018 Perhaps in good taste it really shouldn't be compared to exxon valdez. Killing bald eagles and sea otters isn't really the same as 32 people dying. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Addy + 14 AW January 15, 2018 Oh, outlets are giving only a snippet of space to the dead, focusing instead of the environmental damage. Nice perspective. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rodent + 1,424 January 16, 2018 seems like the oil slick is bigger than previously reported, according to this report, anyway. Looks now like it is over 45 square miles. http://www.payvand.com/news/18/jan/1077.html Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
