Tanker over. . .

Wow! what a week...
There are things happening all over the place!



I surly hope the find those 2 crewmen!!! : /

Below is the story I read:
Authorities weigh limited shipping on Germany's Rhine after acid-laden tanker capsizes
BERLIN — German authorities are considering allowing limited shipping traffic to resume on the Rhine as they struggle to right a capsized tanker loaded with sulfuric acid.
Martin Mauermann, head of the shipping office in Bingen, said Friday that firefighters had resumed the search for two missing crewmen. Two others were rescued when the ship capsized early Thursday.
Authorities don't know what caused the ship to capsize in the strong currents at a notoriously dangerous bend in the Rhine beneath the famed Loreley cliff in western Germany. No acid has leaked.
Rescuers plan to secure the vessel to pontoons to prevent it from drifting. That would allow for limited shipping to start up again on the river, a key European waterway.

Strange, but anything CAN happen!

HAVE A BETTER DAY TODAY THAN THE ONE BEFORE!
Hugs,
Miss Tee :)
