Enraged is perhaps too strong a word but certainly annoyed. Not for the loss of the shipping but the damage to the environment.
The U.S made great song and dance over the BP oil spillage in the gulf and that company was fined millions for it, due to the damage in the environment.
Then you see this sort of thing. Its not only this, their government is at fault as well. The Mythbusters programme often uses Alameda in California for their tests. This is a huge sprawling dockland and airport that the military no longer uses, its just left to decay. They used a whole military housing estate, where the houses have just been left to fall down.
It seems to me that the U.S has two rules, if it originates at home its ok to defile the environment, if its a foreign company responsible sue them for every penny.
