Bow Falling Off Tanker a Freak Accident Says Pol

In an exclusive interview, a high government official has acknowledged that oil
tanker bows do fall off from time to time but says that it is very rare. Further,
he says, in the recent case of a tanker bow falling off near Australia the 20,000
tons of oil it contained was kept out of the environment.

This freak accident occurred of the northwest coast of Spain.

Sometimes the sea just gets too rough for oil tankers.

Heavy seas in Black Sea split Russian oil tanker.

This Greek tanker's bow fell off near Karachi, Pakistan dumping 67,500 tons of crude oil into international waters and causing $6.6 billion in damage.

Is the occassional falling off of a tanker bow something
to worry about, or is this all nothing but Greenpeace propaganda designed to inflame
sentiment against oil companies and oil tanker owners? We'd like to hear from YOU...
