84% Informative

An oil tanker carrying jet fuel was hit by a cargo ship while at anchor 13 miles off the east coast of England .

This set off a series of large explosions and a huge plume of black smoke, while a still unknown quantity of jet fuel has spilled into the sea.

It's too early to say exactly what the consequences will be, says marine ecologists at the University of Hull .

We still don’t know how much fuel was spilled, its chemical composition and toxicity, how it behaved once it hit the sea, where it will end up, and how long it will last. All these factors will be important if we are to understand how this incident will affect the environment..
