China
rushed to keep an oil spill from reaching international waters Tuesday,
while an environmental group tried to assess if the country's largest
reported spill was worse than has been disclosed. Crude oil started
pouring into the Yellow Sea off a busy northeastern port after a
pipeline exploded late last week, sparking a massive 15-hour fire. The
government says the slick has spread across a 70-square-mile
(180-square-kilometer) stretch of ocean.
