TV reporter John Doyle is on the scene after the supertanker Pacific Glory collided with the tanker Allegro off the Isle of Wight on its way up the English Channel to Rotterdam in Holland on 23 October 1970. The Allegro had veered to avoid another vessel and hit the Pacific Glory and made its way to Fawley Southampton where it was arrested. The Pacific Glory drifted towards Ventnor carrying nearly thirty-six thousand barrels of Nigerian crude oil.
