China races to prevent oil slick spreading to open sea

One person has now died in the clean up effort underway off the coast of Dalian City, where a large oil slick has formed after a pipeline at the northeastern port exploded last week.
25-year-old firefighter Zhang Liang drowned as he tried to clean a boat pump.
The oil spill off the coast of Dalian city has now reached tourist attractions in the area. A third of the Golden Pebble Beach is covered in back while oil has also been found along the beach at Bangchui Island.
Clean-up staff are now racing against time to prevent the spill from reaching international waters. Oil began spilling into the water last week after pipelines at the northeast port exploded.
