A double hull would never do this..

The Bahamas-registered Prestige oil tanker is seen broken in two some 150 miles off Spain's coast in the Atlantic Ocean Tuesday Nov. 19, 2002. The stricken tanker carrying  20 million gallons, of oil split in two Tuesday and its back end sank threatening an environmental disaster off the northwest coast of Spain and Portugal.

Thanks for the picture. And yes, I agree that a double hulled tanker would not have broken in two like that tanker did.

The picture brings the reality of this tragedy to light. Thanks for posting it!

FRegards, Vets
