"On July 16, At approximately 6:20 p.m. local time, an explosion in a pipeline near Dalian Xingang Harbor set off a secondary explosion in a smaller pipeline.
The oil slick was 10 centimeters thick in some places, the Chinese state television news network reported, according to BusinessWeek. Approximately 1,500 tons of oil gushed into the sea before the spill was contained, Chinese state-run radio reported.
Chinese officials say oil is now spread across 165 square miles of water. There is still no word on what caused the explosion."
At least in the US, we have a villain but there, as usual, after a major disaster, no one is to shoulder the blames. What is left to do, is heroic cleaning efforts and usual hands wringing.
墨西哥湾英国石油公司的石油泄漏3个月后，“中国正在处理其据绿色和平组织称历史上最严重的漏油事件。两条沿海城市大连管道的星期五爆炸，原油涌入黄海，”美国在线新闻报告。
"在7月16日当地时间大约下午六点20分，在大连新港港附近的一个管道爆炸引发了在一个较小的管道二次爆炸。
据商业周刊称，中国国家电视台新闻网报道说有些地方的浮油达标10厘米厚。中国国营电台报道，泄漏被抑制前，大约1,500吨原油涌入大海。
中国官员说，目前的原油在165 平方英里的水域传播。目前对爆炸引因还没有说法。"
至少在美国，这里有一个恶棍，但在那里，像往常一样，在大灾难之后，没有人承担的责任。剩下可做的，只是英勇的清洁工作，和一贯的捶胸顿足。
