SKOREA-HONG KONG-INDIA-OIL-SHIPPING-ACCIDENT-ENVIRONMENT
A South Korean resident from the coast that was hit by an oil spill in 2007, wears an mask resembling the former Samsung group chairman Lee Kun-Hee, whose vessel was blamed for causing the accident, during a rally in Seoul on December 30, 2008. About 3,000 residents hit by South Korea's worst oil spill protested outside the headquarters of the Samsung group, whose vessel was blamed for causing the leakage. Fisherman and others rallied peacefully outside the building to demand greater compensation, displaying a funeral bier to commemorate three residents who killed themselves over the disaster. The accident happened when a barge carrying a construction crane broke free after a cable to one of two tugs snapped in rough seas in December 2007. The barge owned by Samsung Heavy Industries, part of the country's biggest business group, rammed the anchored 147,000-ton supertanker Hebei Spirit. AFP PHOTO/JUNG YEON-JE
