Environmental agencies are sounding the alarm after a cargo ship crashed into an oil tanker carrying jet fuel for the US military, causing a massive fire in the North Sea. The spill has sparked concerns about the potential environmental disaster it could unleash.
According to Paul Johnston, principal scientist at Greenpeace Research Laboratories, “the jet fuel is highly toxic and can cause severe damage to marine life.” The accident highlights the risks associated with transporting hazardous materials by sea.
The US military is facing criticism for its role in the incident. Many are questioning why the cargo ship was not better equipped or manned to prevent such an accident.
As the fire continues to burn, officials are racing against time to contain the spill and mitigate its impact on the environment.
