international demonstration.
to remember
& to repeat
Nunca Mais!

The Prestige Oil tanker sailed under a flag of convenience,
oh it did
The Prestige Oil Tanker could have been towed to safe harbour,
oh it could
The Prestige Oil Tanker it sank.
oh it did
The Prestige Oil Tanker had only a single hull for a double hull job,
oh it's so
The Prestige Oil Tanker sank.
oh yes it did.
The Prestige Oil Tanker never sold it's Oil
oh they never told you who owned that Oil.
The Prestige Oil Tanker could have been a different type of Disaster.
oh but it wasn't.

To Remember
&
To Repeat

It is still Heavy.
It is still Big.
It is still Crude.

Nunca Mais.
Never Again.

it´s heavy
it´s big
it´s crude.
The Prestige Oil Tanker sank with cargo of 70000tonnes of fuel at a weight of 44000tonnes or 11880 feet deep or 70000tonnes of fuel or 120000 barrels of crude.

It killed uncounted sea life.
It's chapopote still sits on shelves, and on beaches over a 1000Km stretch.

It killed unweighed Sea Life.

to repeat Nunca Mais!
