Not saying that the ship was in poor repair, but many of these foreign flags are an accident waiting to happen.

Yes, yes, and Bush says it's all the terrorists' fault. How again did saying this add anything to the thread? SI

No, no, it's all Clinton's fault!
Seriously, though, when I first saw the headline, I was thinking it was oil, which would have been a horrible mess. While I don't guess that much ethanol in a small area is good for the fish that are unfortunate enough to be in the area, at least it should disperse with minimal widespread ecological effect (right?). |

Ethanol is a light-weight, volatile liquid that will float on the surface of the water and evaporate fairly quickly. Shouldn't cause any big eco disaster.
And, if the vessel was going from NY to Houston it would have to be in fairly good shape of the CG wouldn't let it sail in U.S. waters/ports. |
