Tanker Runs Aground And Causes Huge Black Sea Oil Spill

This footage shows a massive tanker that has tilted onto its side reportedly causing a huge oil spill after running aground in the Black Sea.

The accident took place off the Black Sea coast of the Ukrainian city of Odessa and images show a tanker named Delfi turned onto one side after it was reportedly battered by a storm, which caused it to break its moorings and run aground.

The water has reportedly flooded the tanker’s holds, as well as the captain’s cabin. At the time the images were taken three crew members were reportedly still on-board the tanker.
