Tanker, cargo ship collide off UK coast causing blaze and casualties

A cargo ship named Solong collided with an oil tanker called Stena Immaculate off the coast of England, creating a significant fire and leading to one crew member missing, according to British authorities.
All 23 crew members aboard the Stena Immaculate are reported safe, while 13 of the crew from the Solong were rescued, according to Crowley, the tanker manager.
The Solong was carrying sodium cyanide, which can release toxic gas, prompting environmental concerns expressed by Greenpeace UK and officials from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Investigation into the collision's cause is underway, with experts noting failures in maintaining a proper lookout, as highlighted by Abdul Khalique from Liverpool John Moores University.
