Wreckage of the disaster that take Christmas Island


Soon he began to howl, and about 4:00 in the brutal wind and flying fish cove threat to criticize the Panama-flagged MV Tycoon load tracks the murderer island.

With 260 tons of phosphate, boarded the plane and the boat was 85m - relatively - you can download almost empty, and beating around swell like stuck in the pavement of the sidewalk in Flying Fish Cove, ready with 4,000 tons of phosphate.

Captain Maung Maung Burma's worse - Myind, including weekend can be understood in Australia Christmas Island before, and tried to steady the ship and the weather.

However, after breaking free from its moorings and crashed into the cliffs, now sunk the ship. Debris to prevent the delivery of food and other supplies to the population, and its cargo were scattered in the fragile coral reefs.

Residents angry about the effects on the environment, and under pressure from the pressures of detention by the federal government.

Researchers sent to the island to choose more of the remains has been said Captain Myind - Mong, your first call to help 6:18 on the island of loading and unloading director Arshad Kalan, but it was too hard to implement merchant vessel MV transfer.

What happened next is the subject of the investigation, including three government agencies including the Australian Federal Police.

Executive operations in the phosphate mine on the island, and Edwards, Kevin said he believed that a boat lines mooring crew cut with an ax as Mr. Arshad and the island's main port, Dave Robinson, instructed on how to ensure the best boat to the dock with the lathe.

Edwards said the director of operations, the mine, Mahmoud Ismail, and was at the pier and was one of several people who filmed what happened.

"People have video material that support the observations that the team cut ties with an ax," said Edwards.

"And they were interviewed (mine personnel) by the authorities, and delivered the materials to the competent authorities."

Last night, said Nick Haslam London Maritime Consulting, representing the owners of the ship and her crew did everything possible to get the merchant and the MV clear the pavement, but was shot down by the weather.

He was aware of some of the surveillance camera images designed to showcase a haircut anchor lines, but said this was because he was arrested in the drum and was told that he had nothing to do with the investigation.

"Personally, I think they (the crew) did everything correctly," he said.

You can claim a tie haircut to make a lot of meaning in the words of the disease in the mine to simmer on the sinking of the ship. Mine is by far the largest employer of local residents, but the affection of the population, it is not what it was in 1991 when it was owned by the workers themselves.

The environmental impact of the sinking immediately clear to the crowd that gathered at the Cove to see the daring rescue of the crew carried out by officers of the Navy in rubber boats.

Navy rescued 15 crew after the captain gave the order to abandon ship and the sailors jumped ship to the inflation of the mountain. The water was brown very soon with fuel and phosphate.

It is located in the cove, where the spread of the spill over, is home to a wide range of hybrid reef fishes in the world.

He said one of the premises at the weekend and was not satisfied with Australian phosphate mining and exports of the island due to its effects on the environment, but also came to feel unhappy with the federal government for immigration the detention center.

The center itself was built on what was believed to be ground to feed the pipistrelle bats then in danger of extinction. No bat, found in any other place in the world and recorded more than a year and is believed extinct.

A resident said that the weekend in Australia. "Look, none of us would like to see the rainforest cleared for phosphate mining, but the situation in the detention center here has had a significant impact, not can immediately see "

The flow of hundreds of aircraft, flight to migrant workers, and the presence of more than 3,000 detainees at the peak, and put enormous pressure on infrastructure, including wastewater treatment plant, which began shooting brown liquid at a popular area for diving and fishing.

Resulted in complaints from residents that the guards were on the mainland, the island robber crab crush the giant national parks their cars to put up signs urging newcomers to the engine on cancer and delay.

Yesterday, he said marine expert Jean-Paul Hobbs, who collected 10 years of data on flight Cove fish, and was very concerned about the impact of the waste of fish, corals and other marine species, including cancers of red baby began to get to the beach this week as part of the annual migration.

"This is, however, only one of the environmental pressures on Christmas Island," he said.
