A beach in England has disappeared under a blanket of uncooked French fries and onions after a container ship spilled its cargo earlier this month.
A cleanup operation began on Tuesday along the coastline of East Sussex in southeast England after containers on two cargo ships went overboard during storms late last year and earlier this month, according to the local county council.
Joel Bonnici, a resident of the resort town of Eastbourne, told CNN on Monday that he believes the onions began to appear on the shore on Wednesday last week, and some residents went to help collect up the plastic bags in which the onions were packaged.
