It’s not just planes that are having problems.
A cargo ship and an oil tanker have collided off the northeastern coast of England, resulting in a major fire and an emergency response involving helicopters, lifeboats and firefighting vessels.
According to CNN, the incident involved the U.S. tanker Stena Immaculate and a container ship called Solong.
At least 32 people have been rescued and transported to the hospital, and all crew members of the Stena Immaculate, which was carrying jet fuel, have been accounted for. The cause of the collision remains unclear.
