    Why not bring it ashore then dismantle it or just dock it and scrap it, instead they pollute the ocean with more metal, oil and debris.

    your retarded my good sir they are in fact helping the environment unless they left a full tank of fuel in it which never happens... its actually good it creates an artificial reef wich protects and increase all life around it so please think before you speak next time

    I have to say why is it burning if there is no fuel/hazardous material on it? What about the life or reef it destroys when it hits the bottom of the ocean? Artificial sounds more retarded then just leaving it realistic instead! Maybe you should learn to think more then what you where told to believe along with your supporters!

    You're right Charles. It is a good environmental initiative once it's done right. Unfortunately, the floating debris and the general condition of the vessel before it was sunk suggests that the sinking may have been more negative for the environment than positive.

    Talk about the gang that couldn't shoot straight...most of the shots missed the barn...even if they were right next to it!

    Your sarcasm through assumptions is short sighted and narrow minded

    Obviously there's going to be contaminants left on-board regardless whether they try to empty the fuel tanks or not.

    The fact is nobody want to take responsibility to clean it up because of cost so they turn a blind eye and just pull the plug.

    Before large ships are taken to sea to become aquatic habitats they are striped of their fuel, oils, led paints and other toxins.

    Not so here, this is just politics.

    A fuel tank leak proved too much to repair and a tow failed so they had to sink it to not let it endanger other vessels.
