Dr Jonathan Paul, a senior lecturer in geosciences, said the environmental impact of the sodium cyanide spill would depend on whether the canisters had been pierced which was unclear last night, adding: 'In the very worst-case scenario, you have a big spill of sodium cyanide, resulting in the death of a lot of marine organisms.'

A White House official yesterday refused to rule out the possibility of foul play in the North Sea tanker crash, with speculation one of the ships may have been hacked.

A Portuguese-flagged cargo ship carrying cyanide smashed into a US military oil tanker causing a 'massive fireball' off the Yorkshire coast.

Jet fuel gushed into the North Sea from the ruptured hold of the US-flagged oil tanker MV Stena Immaculate, which was transporting American military supplies. It had been at anchor when Portuguese-registered cargo ship MV Solong crashed into it.

A senior White House official told the maritime website gCaptain.com that foul play had not been ruled out. There was speculation that the Solong might have been hacked by Russia or other hostile states and turned into a 'spear'. [RUSSUA WOULD NOT HACK US. COME ON!]
