An oil tanker has ran aground near a resort island in the Indian ocean and is leaking tons of oil into the Indian Ocean. There's worries that the ship may crack in two and let all it's oil out at once.

Ah shit. Let's pray that nothing gets worse. That way the clean up can be kept to a minimum.

if 2020 is anything to go by the tanker will also catch on fire and explode somehow.

You're probably right.

Maybe 2020 will surprise us and not continue to ruin everything we love and hold dear.

Only slightly positive thing is that it wasn't my country's fault. Truly a terrible thing, let's hope they manage to deal with this before the worst happens.

Don't worry, we'll find a way to blame you, we always do!

OT: Joking aside this yet another tragedy, I would pretend to have tact but I'm so numb to these kinds of news by now that I can't be arsed, but I do hope that at least the cleanup is well managed.

I'm somewhat surprised that that doesn't tend to happen all the time with oil spills. Though, I'm not sure how easy it is to ignite crude oil.

Another year, another ecological disaster.

Another year, another ecological disaster.

The world's a big place. It can soak up varied major oil spills.

It's more the cumulative damage caused by continuous, persistent, institutionalised poor policy that's a problem.

It will crash into another tanker that was full of murder hornets

Nothing new under the sun.

But the murder hornet shipment was cover for the nukes they were smuggling.

Don't be ridiculous, that would never happen.




Because when the tanker of murder hornets sinks, it's gonna clip the Russian nuclear sub that was tailing them, causing both a meltdown of its reactor and launching it's whole payload of nukes. I can't believe you would miss something so obvious.

Locals are cutting off their hair to soak it up.

The Japanese MV Wakashio has spilled oil off Mauritius after hitting a reef, and Mauritians are scrambling to contain the ecological disaster.
