Another big shipping accident has left 560,000 of fuel leaking into the Black Sea. This follows last weeks spill in San Francisco, when a tanker collided with the Bay Bridge and spilled out its fuel.
2,000 tons of fuel oil had spilled from the tanker which broke apart in a huge storm in the Black Sea. A spill of more than 700 tons is considered large, but the biggest ones run into the tens or even hundreds of thousands.
