Wrecked Amoco Cadiz breaks in two off Brest
The Amoco Cadiz split into two as seas battered the wrecked American supertanker near Brittany. The stern swung around while the forward section bears up to 15 million gallons of oil, with peak tides threatening further breakup and continued pollution along the coast. A full pollution alert spans western Normandy and northern Brittany as oil slicks drift eastward. An exhibit of Chinese archeological finds opens in Hong Kong in mid April, featuring items from Neolithic Yangchao culture to the Yuan Dynasty and include life sized figures.
