My review
How far would you go to save your home from an environmental emgerency ?
I loved reading about the emergency of an oil tanker disaster at sea, at the Sea Bird Centre. So many people were drawn to the beach. A huge ship was heading closer to the shore. The ship is carrying gallons of crude oil. The tanker Nora Gallows had collided with the Bass Rock and crashed in the wind. The captain requested evacuation. All emergency service scrambled a life boat, helicopter army trucks, ambulances fire engines and police cars. With television reporters were ready to report for headlines. People tuned into the radio and checked posts on Twitter. The crew managed to be rescued to safely, and taken to a community centre. The good new was that the tanker wasn’t leaking any oil.
