The 100,000 barrel estimate would have made the accident the worst oil spill in Japan's history. Prime Minister Ryutaro Hashimoto said today most of the oil which spilled from the third of the ship's tanks "seems to have flowed into the second empty tank and miraculously didn't leak outside.''

Despite Hashimoto's declarations, many Japanese expect the Liberal Democrats to sacrifice only the Ministry of Finance if they regain power.
