*[Enwl-eng] This tanker split in two, releasing 1, 000 tons of oil into the ocean

[ENWL]

            They partied while the oil tanker they captained spilled 
thousands of tons of oil into the pristine ocean near Mauritius

                 One month ago, a Japanese-owned ship carrying approximately 
4,000 tons of various types of fuel was cruising through the biodiverse 
Indian Ocean, off the coast of Mauritius, when suddenly it started veering 
off course. Crew members were holding a party onboard, and no one jumped in 
to fix their trajectory. When the ship struck a coral reef and ran aground, 
what was once a pristine area filled with unique habitats swelled with 
poisonous oil — 1,000 tons of oil, to be precise. For the next several 
weeks, cracks in the side of the ship grew larger until the entire vessel 
split in two, releasing an unknown amount of additional oil and diesel out 
into the ocean.

                  The obvious solution is for the corporation behind this 
disaster, as well as the Mauritian government, to recover all the fuel and 
undo this damage as fast as possible. Instead, authorities dragged the two 
remaining portions of the ship out into the middle of the ocean. And then 
they intentionally sank it, oil-slick surfaces, toxic heavy metal 
construction, and all. Now this ship's hulking ghost will remain there, 
befouling humans, wildlife, coral reefs, waters, and entire ecosystem, 
potentially forever. This is completely unacceptable. Sign the petition to 
demand that the owner of this vessel, Nagashiki Shipping, immediately pay 
the full costs to completely clean up this disastrous oil spill, now!

                  Thank you for all that you do,

                         Miranda B.

                  P.S. With every passing day, the ship's remains continue 
to leak more and more tons of oil into these beautiful, rich waters. Demand 
that the corporation behind this spill take full responsibility and clean up 
their mess, now!
