| Updated with more pics  So after hearing the news that a container ship ran into the Bay Bridge, I figured I'd go see if there was any visible damage. So on the way home from a meeting, I walked out Pier 7 in San Francisco. I was shocked at what I saw when I looked over the sides of the pier. Here are exclusive photos (sorry about quality, shot from my iPhone).
The story linked above said:
Coast Guard officials said fuel leaked from the gash at the port side of the bow for about half an hour before the Cosco Busan's crew managed to close off the damaged tank and transfer fuel to another part of the ship.
Rob Roberts, a lieutenant with the state Department of Fish and Game, said the 140 gallons of fuel that spilled from the ship will take about a month to clean up. By midday, some fuel had already reached Pier One in San Francisco.
He said the spill is "something we're worried about. . . . One hundred-forty gallons is 140 gallons too much." He said private companies hired by the ship owner will perform the cleanup.
