Remember the tanker that blew up while re-fueling in New York? Not much was said about that. This could be a way to re-open the info line.

BRASILIA, Brazil -- Six sailors were missing following an explosion onboard a fuel tanker at the southern Brazilian port of Paranagua, port superintendent Eduardo Requier said late Monday.

Requier denied earlier reports that 31 people had died in the blast, but did say that two sailors were rescued "without serious wounds."

The remaining 28 sailors aboard the Chilean-flagged tanker were safe and healthy, Requier said.

The tanker was being loaded with fuel at the time of the explosion, according to CBN radio.

Powerful explosions shook the tanker around 7:30 p.m. (2230 GMT), CBN reported.



Amid widespread confusion firefighters, civil defense officials and army soldiers blocked access to the port, according to CBN.

It was a barge. A great deal was said about that and it was an obvious accident.

Amazingly enough, flammable substances sometimes blow up without evil Moooseleems being involved.
