When on earth did this happen?

 :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:   (:D#

I think it was this one.
I thought it was more recent since I saw a video of it on TV last week.  The crew was rescued by helicopter while the oil kept catching on fire and threatening to blow the whole ship.  It was pretty hairy.

I dunno it was just in Australia... and it fell off... one in a million chance bleh blah mumble grumble

That explains it; I was only 7 years old when it happened! No wonder I dont remember it.

Hilarious video though.

Also, it's quite a big coastline that Aus has got... much like it's 'quite' a big hit Harry Potter ;)
