What happend:
The spilt occurred when an oil-tanker named Southern Star
VII,carrying 350,000 litres (77,000 imp gal; 92,000 US gal) of
furnace oil, was in collision with a cargo vessel and sank in the
river. By December 17, the oil had spread over a 350 km2
(140 sq mi) area. The oil spread to a second river and a network
of canals in Sundarbans, which blackened the shoreline.The spill
threatened trees, plankton, and vast populations of small fish and
dolphins.The spill occurred at a protected mangrove area, home
to rare Irrawaddy and Ganges dolphins. By 12 January 2015,
70,000 litres (15,000 imp gal; 18,000 US gal) of oil had been
cleaned up by local residents, the Bangladesh Navy, and the
government of Bangladesh.
