Wouldn't that be the largest possible tanker in the world loosing it's entire load of exceptionally flammable condensate not just crude and burning the wooden pilings upon which most of the artificial land of Manhattan is based upon, liquefying the landfill which is mostly trash and rubble, and melting the steel pilings of the skyscrapers causing the artificial and relatively unpacked land to slough off into the rivers and the buildings to collapse ala 9/11 except bottom up instead of top down, fooding the subway system thereby spreading the fire to the foundations of even more skyscrapers and even to the top secret power station under Grand Central station where the electricity for all the transportation networks of the eastern coast is from?
How worst is worst, maybe there's a couple of barges of TNT that would explode and a nuclear aircraft carrier carrying nuclear warheads that would experience a meltdown and accidental detonation of armaments, all while Airforce One and a couple of F-16's buzz the bridges during an important UN meeting coinciding with the Pope visiting and an alien saucer trying to make first contact while Godzilla tires of Tokyo and decides to visit.

certainly, it particularly is the worst case difficulty and extensive disaster, which impacts the completed eco gadget having an incredible style of untold miseries. Now, because of the fact the oil spillage is being capped, enable us to desire that no added spillage is in all probability to ensue. The Scientists besides because of the fact the Geologists might have foreseen approximately this variety of an incident earlier in strengthen, which has not been accomplished. So this has occurred.
