The oil tanker was transporting 150,000 tons, or nearly 1 million barrels, of oil to South Korea.
Chinese rescue teams are attempting to control the blaze. The remains of one crew member have been found, and 31 are still missing. It’s unclear how much oil has leaked into the sea, or what the potential environmental impacts will be.

The Iranian oil tanker was carrying almost 1 million barrels of oil! How do you think nearby countries will be affected by a potential leak? To learn more info feel free to check out our article here: http://bit.ly/2m8Fw9p
The biggest question is how did they collide? Large vessels have sonar and radar to avoid these situations, and they should have easily detected and avoided each other. Unless the crews of both ships were asleep, or one aimed for the one that should have had right of way.
Another question is how did the fire start? Normally a breach would just mean the oil would spill out, it would take something with a lot of energy to ignite it.
Something's fishy
R.I.P planet earth
Hopefully they'll get tgis contained soon, but I'd like to know how you f*ck up that bad, its like the destroyers colliding with cargo ships not long ago. With radar and stuff like it, you'd figure stuff like this wouldn't happen.
And we think mining for oil is ok how?
"Collision"
Building islands?
Fuq :/ ride bikes guys…. pls <3 i know most of u live in cities anyway
The question is not how, it's why. Why did the collision occur?
Some warm need it
This is more garbage in the sea and the nearby coasts, beside threatening and killing wildlife. How in 2017 with people on the moon, crossing the universe to far, far away planets, technologies, drones, 3D printers of human prosthetics, nano computers, 146" tv, can this happen ???
Be sure to recycle…
so theres tons of tons of oil burning for days and the steel wont break…911 some planes melted down two towers. sounds legit
A COLLISION..
With 2018 technology,a OIL TANKER CXOLLIDING WITH CHINESE FREIGHT…..hahhahah
i think its BVullShit
How the fuck do you manage to collide two giant slow moving ships in the middle of the ocean
Yo. For real that just adds 5 years of clean up nobody wants to be responsible for. These oceans are just on the brink of destruction.
Ships are so big and slow, wouldn't you see one coming from miles away?
Leave it to the Chinese to crash into things.
Off to a great start of the year
probably more goes into this story than just "an accident".
All of that open water and yet you decided to crash into another ship…. bravo
Am i the only who is more concerned about the impact of the oil leakage to the marine life than the casualties? Humans are so selfish like we caused all these pollutions and the first thing we thought about is that some of us are dying? Next time just don't collide..!
Happy Q year kids
If there was sanctions on South Korea this would have never happened
They had the whole china sea but they still managed to colide..
sad
Hmm another crash in the china sea.. when will they stop
Are China and Iran not allies?
People in this Oil tanker are not important for iran Government. just money is important fot iran Government…. down with isis
The fire seems to be off at 20 s of the clip. How come was it burning again when it sunk??
It was not collision with a Chinese freighter. Sanchi is destroyed by Chinese army as the ship system navigation was off. The final destination of this ship was North Korea to send all these oil and gas to them and apparently all the Iranian crews were not aware from it. It was suppose step by step the understand that this oil&gass should reach to North Korea and not South Korea. Iranian regime even did not informed Chinese as they are going to be close to US after their mistake revealed to us to send oil to North Korea recently. China after destroying the ship took the black box of the ship to get more info

What about the untold damage to the wildlife who didn't have a say that is the real crime.
🙁
China killed the story as usual, they wont clean it up but we will find out how bad when it washes up on our shores. I hear the tankers turned of its lights and tracker, maybe was headed to N Korea, that oil was the same as jet fuel
Spraying water on petroleum fuel. Brilliant!
I am still working on that ship anyone wanna visit let me know.i am working in same company
There were 2 Bangladeshi one is my brother freind…. My brother also a marine engineer
This was the fault of second officer who was on duty on tht day
A oil tanker for you
