| Description: | Image quality is not the greatest, has RGB colors in spots though the footage is B&W. News in Brief: Tanker Blast Kills 9. Nine die and 50 are badly burned in a below-decks explosion that rips a dry-docked oil tanker. A hole is cut through the side of the vessel so rescuers can remove the dead and injured from the wrecked engine room. Bodies are rolled away on stretchers. One injured survivor has his face covered with bandages. | |
