<p>The flip side of that is that the fuel oil is actually helping to hold up the wreck. The seeping oil is resulting in more and more stress being put on the corroded hull of the ship, so we have a snowball effect. You can’t take the oil out or the wreck will collapse. If the wreck collapses, the oil will REALLY come out.</p>
<p>It’s eerie, though, to see the ship still bleeding 65 years later. :(</p>
