The Prestige Oil Tanker that sank off the Spaiish coast. When the hull was first cracked in bad weather and a small amount of oil leaked. The dutch salvage experts said 'let us bring it into inlet off coast where we can deal with it safely, and control oil flow'.

Spanish gov says NO take it away as far from our coast FAST and NOW..

Result.. Ship moved into worst weather, ship breaks up, more oil leaks than would have before.. Millions of Euro on clean up...
Ruined Fishing industry...

If ONLY they had listened to the experts rather than theink they know better..

Can't help thinking that old Winston Churchill would have had more backbone.....
