Trump should take that money and use it to buy the border wall sections at auction.

I hope he does

There’s some bs going on there, someone is having a bit of sport. Those big ones can be tracked. Airport Surveillance Radar can track a couple geese. And that’s old tech.

I think the drones might be coming from a farm in Grovers Mill, New Jersey? The Death Spell Caster posting on here says so. LOL

Two Russian tankers sink in Black Sea spilling more than 4,000 tonnes of oil

Two Russian tankers in the Black Sea have been badly damaged due to stormy weather. A video shot from inside one of the vessels appears to show part of a tanker ripped from the body of the craft, and sinking down into the water.

Old news. few days old.
It is worth saying, this is not "Exon Valdez" type and magnitude of accident. But it is serious.
Those type of vessels (that look ugly, and substandard) are dual use vessels, designed for river and sea-coastal navigation - thus the specific design. Not deep sea vessels. They dont cross Oceans. Draught 3-4 meters.
.
Due to shallow draft requirement for the rivers they generally have small capacity, and thus, small crew.
Master, chief engineer, one deck officer, and deck and engine hands, with cook (ratings).
(as opposed to average 20-25 crew for large deep sea vessels with full crew complement - master, 3 deck officer, ch eng with two engine officers and ratings, draught 15 plus meters)

Those are vessels details and pictures:
