Last week, two oil pipelines exploded in Dalian, China spilling about 400,000 gallons of oil into the Yellow Sea. It’s probably a bit early to tell the full extent of the damage done, but judging by these early photos from the All Eyes blog, the disaster looks more concentrated and devastating than that of the oil spill in the Gulf.

If you’re wondering about the photo above from the series, here’s the caption that comes with it:

In this photo released by Greenpeace, a firefighter who was submerged in thick oil during an attempt to fix an underwater pump is brought ashore by his colleagues in Dalian, China on Tuesday, July 20, 2010.

Look at how thick that oil layer is on the person! The Big Picture has some dramatic photos as well.
