700 yds
This headline made me laugh. Apparently a tanker came withing 700 yards of a oil platform. A near collision according to Fox news,,, It got me thinking 700 yards how far is that. 3x700=2100ft thats nearly 2/5 of a mile or .4 miles. Geeze thats a ways off yet. You want to know whos ruining this country its the media.
