[environment] solar 1 tanks ready to rupture

The sinking of the Solar 1 last week is soon to become a major environmental disaster [see earlier article].

The tanker with 10 tanks, each of 50 000 litres, of which the first has already ruptured and the others are just biding their time.

A disaster official admitted Saturday that Philippine authorities have no capability to refloat the sunken ship off Guimaras province fearing that the country's worst-ever oil spill will affect the province for years.
