Volunteers carry baskets full of fuel oil on Carnota's O Pindo beach in
Galicia in northwest Spain December 6, 2002. Thick fuel oil is oozing
from holes in the sunken tanker Prestige like toothpaste from a tube,
pictures taken by a French submarine revealed on Thursday, showing the
wreck off Spain's coast remains an environmental hazard. The pictures
fuelled fears that the wreck could turn into a long-term source of
pollution, worsening the plight of fishermen in Galicia, already
devastated by 17,000 tonnes of fuel oil spilled by the tanker before it
broke in two and sank on November 19. REUTERS/Miguel Vidal
