TL;DR Summary
A mystery vessel capsized off the coast of Trinidad and Tobago, causing a massive oil spill that has affected nearly 10 miles of coastline and prompted the declaration of a national emergency by Prime Minister Keith Rowley. The spill, which is not yet under control, has damaged a reef and beaches, posing a threat to the country's crucial tourism industry during the Carnival season.
