by War on Error

We have some disaster company:

July 21, 2010:  Five days ago, in the northeastern port city of Dalian, China, two oil pipelines exploded, sending flames hundreds of feet into the air and burning for over 15 hours,....

an estimate of 1,500 tons (400,000 gallons....

The oil slick has now grown to at least 430 square kilometers (165 sq mi), forcing beaches and port facilities to close

Horrifying images are emerging from China, where an emergency worker nearly drowned in oil while working to contain a spill that now covers over 150 square miles off the coast of China.
