Collision sets off Dubai tanker fire

Feb 10, 2009 - A tanker burst into flames on Tuesday after colliding with a container ship in a channel off the coast of Dubai.

Firefighters battled the blaze for three hours before extinguishing it, and two of the tanker's crew who were pulled from the water suffered minor injuries but no deaths were reported.

The inbound tanker, which was carrying a liquid used to make plastic, struck a "feeder vessel", a ship that shuttles cargo containers from big ports to smaller ones, about five miles from the Jebel Ali Port.

Details about damage to the ships were not immediately available. However, photos of the burning tanker taken by a sightseeing plane show what looks like substantial damage on the port side of the ship.

Fire extended from the waterline to above the top of the tanker as thick black smoke billowed hundreds of feet in the air out of a gash in the ship's hull, said Cameron Leslie, a pilot and director of flight operations at Seawings air charter service in Dubai.

What looked like "viscous material" pouring from the ship also burned on top of the water, as did two other chunks of wreckage about a half mile away, he said.

Mr Leslie, whose company provided the photos, said the container ship was also on fire.

Police helicopters and boats along with the Emirates Coast Guard and the port's emergency response division assisted in the rescue efforts, officials said.

The Maltese-flagged tanker, Kashmir, was carrying about 30,000 tons of oil condensate, according to Stephen Olley of the Lloyd's Marine Intelligence Unit in Britain. It was headed from Iran to the UAE.

Emirates state news agency WAM identified the container ship as the Sima Saba. The ship's destination was not known.

Jebel Ali is located on the southwestern end of Dubai and is the bigger of two major ports in the city. It is run by DP World, the world's fourth-biggest port operator, which is 80 per cent owned by the government of Dubai.

US Airways Flight 1549 - Audio Tapes Released

The pilot of US Airways Flight 1549, which ditched into New York's Hudson River last month, calmly radioed to air traffic controllers, "We're going to be in the Hudson." The audio recordings, released Thursday by the Federal Aviation Administration, reflect the initial tension between tower controllers and the cockpit and then confusion about whether the passenger jet went into the river.

2009 Mercedes SLR Stirling Moss

Well, if a car with no roof and no windshield isn't enough to get your attention, consider the fact that the 2009 Mercedes-Benz SLR Stirling Moss is also capable of hitting 217 mph. Not bad for a car that first arrived way back in 2004.

And since the Mercedes-Benz SLR is clearly not a long enough label, this version carries the additional Stirling Moss suffix. If you're a little light on your history of British racing drivers, Sir Stirling (as he's known these days) famously drove a Mercedes-Benz SLR to win the 1955 Mille Miglia, a thousand-mile race on public roads in Italy.

It too was an open-top, two-seat roadster with a cropped windshield and no side windows. No rollover bars were fitted to the original car, but they've been added to the modern version to at least give the impression that it's safe.

Like its modern coupe and roadster counterparts, the SLR Stirling Moss houses a supercharged 5.5-liter V8 under its massive snout. Output has been bumped to 650 horsepower and it runs through a five-speed automatic transmission to the rear wheels. According to Mercedes-Benz, this SLR is good for acceleration to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 3.5 seconds, 3/10ths quicker than the SLR Roadster.

Those extra 3/10ths are going to cost you, though. The SLR Stirling Moss will run €750,000 when it goes on sale in Europe next summer. And don't bother trying to translate that number into dollars, as it won't be available in the U.S. (It's $1.05 million if you care.) Only 75 will be produced and they'll constitute the last of the SLR's production run, which has spanned roughly five years.
