BEIJING -- Hundreds of firefighters and civilian volunteers used bare hands, chopsticks and plastic garbage bags Thursday to wage a rudimentary, low-tech battle against a giant oil slick spreading off China's northeast coast.
The slick, near the vital oil port of Dalian, in Liaoning province, was caused by the explosion of two oil pipelines last Friday and has spread to cover an area of about 170 square miles, according to media reports. Government officials said the accident released about 1,500 tons of oil, or 400,000 gallons, into the Yellow Sea, the country's largest reported spill.
