I think these pictures of the cargo ship are amazing.
The sheer size of it is incredible. Pictures taken from SkyNews.co.uk.
More on the story here.
Experts are fighting to avert an ecological disaster as a stricken cargo ship began leaking oil off Devon.
As many as 200 containers - three of which are thought to contain dangerous substances such as battery acid - have also washed into the sea.
The 62,000-tonne ship, carrying 2,400 containers - 157 of which are said to contain hazardous chemicals such as perfume, ethanol, pesticides and toxic liquids - as well as thousands of tonnes of heavy fuel, was being towed to Portland when severe structural failure forced the salvage teams to deliberately run it aground near the town of Sidmouth.
That’s alot of containers.
