Venäjän Koivistossa sattunut öljypäästö ei uhkaa Suomenlahtea.Viranomaisten mukaan Jermilovka-jokeen valuneen öljyn ei pitäisi päästä ajautumaan Suomenlahteen asti. Leningradin aluehallinto vakuuttaa, että öljyn etenemiseen Suomenlahteen on kuitenkin varauduttu lähettämällä jokisuistoon öljyntorjuntakalustoa.
Öljyä on levinnyt 6000 neliömetrin maa-alueelle, josta se on valunut jokeen.Syy öljyonnettomuuteen on yhä epäselvä. (STT)

This is not a suprise, it is more of a statistical must. Even the big bang coming is a statistical must. Are we prepared?

Should someone do something soon?
