Running News Story. L Tauru

A couple, have been found dead near to Poole Harbour, after a suspected poisoning of the toxic substance, Lindane.
A Danish Life Boat Crew found the couple, who were in their 80’s, half a mile out of the Harbour.
The tragic poisoning happened after a cargo ship L Tauru leaked the toxic substance, Lindane, into the water.
A further, 70 people have been rescued and taken to hospital with cuts and bruises.
Poole Harbour is being cordoned off after the huge spillage of the highly toxic substance, Lindande, after a massive collision between the Sandbanks ferry and a Torbay Seaways vessel.
A source from the cargo ship company explained, Lindane is one of the most dangerous substances and has already killed all the fish, shrimps and corals around the area.
The Harbour is expected to be closed for at least 48 hours.
Torben Lee, 58, an environmental spokesperson said: ‘We are going to place chemical boons around the area, which act as a wall. We are doing everything we can to try to stop the Lindane spreading any further.’
The area from south east Sandbanks to Hengistry Head will be completely inaccessible to everyone, it is usually used for dog walkers, exercising and walking.
L Tauru, was Torbay Seaways first vessel, and was carrying 20 trucks which had various different substances in them.
Only one truck spilt its content so far and work is frantically being done to keep any of the other trucks from leaking.
There were eight crew members and numerous truck drivers on the vessel which was on part of its trip around Cherbourg, France.
Bridget Verdon, who works at the company said: ‘I believe some of the crew members jumped off the boat in panic when it crashed.’
The collision happened at 9.10am, Poole Harbour, and has left Sandbanks ferry with a gaping hole in the side and broken chains.
The Sandbanks ferry transports people across the two mile journey from Poole to Swanage, saving them a 30 mile drive around.
Chief loader, Nick Gosney, 72, who has worked at the harbour for 60 years said: ‘I have never seen anything like this before, it is absolute chaos.’
