Ship fires rage in HK and Japan
While the world's media was caught by Spain's oil spill, Incidentally, the ship accidents also happened off the Hong Kong's and Japan's coast!
A ship carrying 20,000 tonnes of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) was caught fire on Nov 24 off Hong Kong shore. Hong Kong government officials are hoping the blaze will eventually burn itself out.
On the other hand in Japan, a grounded freighter carrying nearly 4,000 vehicles, burned out of control near Izu-Oshima, an island about 80 miles south of Tokyo.
Are there any campaign points for Greenpeace?
