City sues over Cosco Busan oil pollution

摘要

The city of San Francisco is suing the owners and pilot of the container ship Cosco Busan, which struck the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge on 3 November, spilling 58,000 tons of heavy fuel oil into San Francisco Bay. "This was a wholly avoidable accident that has caused more injury to the San Francisco Bay area that we can yet begin to fathom," said San Francisco City Attorney Dennis Herrera. The damages are expected to run into millions of dollars.
