Cargo ship breaks in two off Turkey coast

Cargo ship breaks in two off Turkey coast.

An Orbital ATK rocket launches a cargo ship from Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia to the International Space Station on Sunday a day after the launch was scrapped due to a rogue aircraft.

The SpaceX Dragon cargo spacecraft, carrying supplies and scientific materials, was successfully released from the International Space Station on Saturday and landed in the Pacific Ocean, after a month-long delivery mission for NASA.

Three weeks after a cargo ship ran aground, efforts are being made to prevent an oil leak on to the world's largest raised coral atoll becoming an ecological disaster in the Solomon Islands. The area is a UNESCO site.

Dramatic footage shows a crew member of a Dutch cargo ship throwing himself into the sea after the ship began listing heavily and was too dangerous to stay aboard. Norwegian emergency services rescued the 12 crew members of the "Eemslift Hendrika", with some being airlifted to safety and others having to jump into the water. The vessel which was carrying several mid-sized boats between Bremerhaven in Germany and the port of Kolvereid ran into difficulty in the Norwegian Sea and there are now fears that it could capsize.

The Eemslift Hendrika was adrift off the coast of Norway, and had the potential to dump hundreds of tons of oil into the sea.
