US-OIL-ENVIRONMENT-SPILL
A sheen of fuel oil sits on the Mississippi River July 25, 2008 in New Orleans, Louisiana, following a large spill on July 23. Cleanup efforts continue after a barge collided with a tanker in the Mississippi River, spilling around 419,000 gallons (1.6 million liters) of fuel oil, the US Coast Guard said. The Coast Guard closed off a 100-mile stretch (160-kilometer) of the river, from the port of New Orleans down to the Gulf of Mexico, after the oil tanker Tintomara collided on with an American Commercial Lines barge that was being pushed by a tug boat. The 600-foot (183-meter) oil tanker sustained no damage but the crash split the barge nearly in two, and the thick, smelly oil poured into the river just off the banks of downtown New Orleans.
