Eight dead as South Korean tanker carrying a thousand tonnes of acid capsizes off Japanese island

Eight of the nine people rescued from the capsized Keoyoung Sun have died after they were rushed to hospital following the sinking of the South Korean-flagged vessel on Wednesday. The coastguard is still searching for the two still-missing crew members. The Keoyoung Sun started to sink off Japan's Yamaguchi prefecture at around 7am local time on Wednesday, at which point the crew called the coast guard to inform them that the vessel would be limping over to Mutsure Island.

Very sorry for the family and friends of the dead but, some information as to what it was actually carrying and the possible ecological damage would have been useful. I can't imagine how acid leaking into the ocean could be contained to limit the harm.
