On August 19, 2007, an oil tanker off the coast of Australia split in two, dumping 20,000 tonnes of crude oil.


Senator Collins, a member of the Australian Parliament, appeared on a TV news program to reassure the Australian public.

No it's not. It's from a comedy sketch in the early 90's discussing another tanker that lost it's bow.

EDIT: I just clicked your link, they even have the comedy team (Clarke and Dawe) listed in the related videos section. Embarrasing.
