The Firey Pillars of Dalian Port

(Dalian) - Consumed in a sea of flames reaching up to tens of meters in the air, Dalian Port was plunged into a blaze that lasted for over 15 hours on July 16. Two oil pipeline explosions related to an oil tanker's unloading pump set off a fire that released more than 1,500 tons of crude oil into the Yellow Sea, resulting in Liaoning Province's largest-ever maritime oil spill.
