As the fire engulfed the ship, flames rose 100m high and, after a series of further explosions occurred, between 30-40,000 tons of oil poured into the sea. On 14 April, the 250m-long main body sank a mile and a half from the coast, between Arenzano and Varazze.Related Collections:Oil Spill from Tanker Haven in Italy (Photos & Videos)
