North Sea Tanker Collision Sparks Explosions, Oil Spill, and Rescue Mission

A U.S.-flagged oil tanker, MV Stena Immaculate, was broadsided by the Portugal-registered Solong cargo ship off the coast of England, causing a massive jet fuel spill into the North Sea. The collision sparked explosions and fires that burned for over 24 hours, prompting a large-scale rescue operation. While most crew members were saved, one remains missing. Investigations are underway to determine what caused the crash, as environmental and maritime concerns rise.
