Record Oil, Empty Tanks: The UAE's Miracle Recovery
Authored by Larry Johnson via Sonar21.com

Major Oil Spill From Attacked Tanker Forces Closure Of UAE Beaches
Amid the record pace in Iranian attacks on crude tankers in the Strait of Hormuz, many have been wondering: where does all that oil end up when it comes to severely damaged or sunken tankers?
On Friday the UAE has confirmed a deeply alarming event: some of its beaches are being shuttered as a major spill is washing up after a tanker was struck by a projectile off the UAE coast, resulting in a fire aboard the vessel and apparent major spillage. The attack incident happened earlier in October.
Regional media, illustrativeAuthorities have "detected a tanker oil spill affecting Umm Al Quwain's beaches," the Ministry of Climate Change and Environment announced in a statement.
