Arabian Gulf - (Dodgy Sat-Nav Mess): A Spring Equinox shipping disaster in the Straits of Hormuz today was blamed on supernatural forces left over from the Hurricane Katrina fiasco as an amphibious vessel the USS New Orleans pranged the nuclear powered submarine the Hartford.
The New Orleans promptly burst its submersible levees and dumped 25,000 gallons of diesel into the balmy waters off Dubai.
Captain Chesly P Sullenberger-Pugwash, commander of the US Fifth Fleet, said to reporters:
"WTF?"
The area's shipping lanes are notorious for carrying up to 15 million barrels of oil each day "so a few extra gallons won't make that much difference", the head of an Iranian boat patrol commented.
Rex Tillerson's days at Exxon-Mobil are numbered.
