The MV Miner continues to break apart off the Nova Scotia coast.

New video shows the wreck of the MV Miner is falling apart on the shore of Scaterie Island, N.S..

The bulk carrier ran aground in 2011. Attempts to remove it have failed and now chunks of rusting steel are falling into the ocean. Large pieces are washing ashore on the island. 

Local fishermen are fed up with the long delay in cleaning it up and are calling for action.
