Spill from sinking Sanchi oil tanker could reach Japan within the month

An oil spill is always a nasty affair, and the case involving the recently sunk Sanchi oil tanker in the East China Sea is no exception. While its sinking has already caused millions in losses and several dozen lost lives, the problem is far from over.

According to new reports on an updated emergency ocean model simulation, the waters that were polluted by the incident could reach the country of Japan within one month. If so, it will end up affecting even more people than initially thought. And the worst part is, it’s going to hit other regions even before it reaches the land of the rising sun.
