"MADRID, Spain –– A damaged tanker carrying more than 20 million gallons
of fuel oil broke in two off the northwest coast of Spain and sank
Tuesday, threatening an environmental disaster.

The tanker ruptured last Wednesday during a storm.

The salvage company estimated it had lost between 1.3 million and 2.6
million gallons of fuel so far. Most of the crew was airlifted off the
ship last week. The tanker sustained a 30- to 50-foot crack in the hull
below the waterline which made it unable to proceed under its own power
while salvagers sought a port to do repairs or transfer the oil to
another ship."
