Two years after Selendang Ayu, Aleutians still vulunerable


Friday, December 08 2006
Unalaska, AK – Today marks the two-year anniversary of the wreck of the Selendang Ayu. On December 8, 2004, the Malaysian soybean freighter ran aground on Unalaska Island, spilling more than 300,000 gallons of oil. Although a risk assessment is being planned for the North Pacifc by the Coast Guard and state environmental officials, the Aleutian Islands are as vulnerable to oil spills today as they were two years ago. KIAL's Charles Homans has the story in Unalaska.
