Kalimantan/ Balikpapan oil spill & explosion

[Wingy]

I spotted this article and thought .... Why is this not making major news?

4 days? How does a pipeline 'move' that distance. A state of emergency has been declared...as well as the loss of human lives and the impact this will have on locals I'm concerned about the environmental impact seeing it has already hit the mangroves with dugong deaths. Anyone diving around there ATM with any more news?

Borneo oil spill costs Indonesia’s poor

Also not making news - oil spill narrowly averted hitting Solomon Islands marine park area in March and Chinese oil spill.

They rebuilt Dresden, Notre Dam will be rebuilt, shame we can't rebuild ecosystems.
