    100,000 tons of crude. Who’s responsible for mopping this around for PR before it finally sinks to the bottom?

      I wouldn’t hold your breath. “People waiting to be saved in the Middle East” is a long list, and I assume the seabirds are low down.

      What is a typical rate of actual recovery after an oil spill?

        There’s an even longer list of “people not waiting anymore to be saved in the Middle East”, where entries are usually permanent.

      Just tow the boat out of the environment.

        I was just thinking of all the tar balls and tar logs and polluted animal life sinking into the abyss, but generally, yea, I think it does just wash up places.

      If it’s like oil spills in the U.S., volunteers with Dawn soap and maybe some of the costs will be felt by the oil company after 25 years of litigation.

      Who’s going to try and risk getting sunk by a drone or a missile?
