there is a documentary on youtube about oil leaking out of sunk WWII ships. Some of those ships are really close to shores and tourist destinations. Fun time.

- mchem 6y agohttps://m.youtube.com/watch?v=OP0U62oiBlM https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=OP0U62oiBlM - The DW documentary on the matter. A fascinating watch. It is a shame that the economics do not play out in such a way that recovery and resale is feasible. Sadly, I do not expect most governments to be as proactive as Norway’s on the matter. The documentary suggests that even covering a wreck with sand as a preventative measure costs 10s of millions of €s. Surely an opportunity for a lower cost solution exists here?
