Stranded ship "time bomb" to Great Barrier Reef

From what I read, the province had basically been dragging its feet on requiring that these tankers have pilots on board until they clear the reef. I really hope they're able to clear it. My understanding is that short of climate change, ship collisions are the greatest threat to the reef.
 
Not many things make me as angry as that does.
 
you know what that is, thats just pathetic. WTF was a ship doing near the reef with dangerous cargo/fuel in the first place. I mean, cant they just go around? I intend to see the GBR someday and do not want to look at a wasteland.
 
LET me tell you having this ship in my backyard is making so angry is who's going to take ownership and who's going to stop further ships running aground on the GBR but not just this reef but all of them.......:mad::wall::swear::rant2:
 
Its pathetic! people (not all of them) think that their greed is more important then our planet! Well, when global warming wipes out all our coastal cities and stops the golf stream people will start to care. But of course by then it will be to late and 70% of live in the oceans will be doomed, along with 90% of live on land. Its happened b4 and will probably happen again. 99% of all life that has existed on earth is extinct today, will we be next? I should think that we, as "intelligent critters" should be able to avoid extinction, but we seem to be trying to wipe ourselves out. We need to learn a lesson, and fast or else we will join that 99%.
 
I would urge all who are outraged to stop using all petroleum products immediately. It won't do much to help the environment, and will do less to hurt the big oil companies. But at least y'all won't be a bunch of hypocritical nimby'ers anymore!
