...Apostoulos Mangouras is experienced and had a clean record. (He has been detained in Spain for alleged environmental offenses and failure to cooperate with coastal authorities in a timely fashion.) So why did the Prestige sink? Theories include the extreme weather conditions, a collision with floating debris, structural problems, metal fatigue and miscalculations in the salvage effort. The Dutch salvage firm Smit, which handled the attempted rescue of the ship, is locked in a battle of words with Spain. "We asked to tow the ship to a safe place on the Spanish coast, where we could repair it in calm...
...Mestre took the last of a series of deep breaths floating in the ocean off the Dominican Republic on Oct. 12, then plunged below the surface.

The good news: if you stop eating seafood or limit your consumption to low-metal varieties such as tilapia and sole, your body will rid itself of the mercury--though it may take years. --BY Janice M.

...within its eight cylindrical cyclones at speeds up to 600 m.p.h., the machine uses centrifugal force to trap the dirt and expel the air. Because there is no filter to clog, the DC07 never loses its oomph. Its "liquid steel" shell is made from the same plastic-metal polycarbonate as riot shields.
