A barge is seen making a large impact gash in the side of the Eagle Otome after the two vessels collided causing as much as 450,000 gallons of crude oil to spill, according to the U.S. Coast Guard, on Saturday, Jan. 23, 2010, in Port Arthur, Texas. Officials contained the spill, but were still assessing the scope and cause. No injuries were reported from the collision. (AP Photo/Houston Chronicle, Julio Cortez)
