Colonial Pipeline System Restart – Update #6

Colonial pipeline ^ | 5/12/21 | Colonial Pipeline Company

[blueyon]

Colonial Pipeline initiated the restart of pipeline operations today at approximately 5 p.m. ET.

Following this restart, it will take several days for the product delivery supply chain to return to normal. Some markets served by Colonial Pipeline may experience, or continue to experience, intermittent service interruptions during the start-up period. Colonial will move as much gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel as is safely possible and will continue to do so until markets return to normal.

As we initiate our return to service, our primary focus remains safety. As part of this startup process, Colonial will conduct a comprehensive series of pipeline safety assessments in compliance with all Federal pipeline safety requirements.

The dems will do ANYTHING not to have gas lines.....Who knows how they helped get this started up again....

no mention if they did/didn’t pay the ransome...

We would also like to thank the White House for their leadership and collaboration, as well as the Department of Energy, Department of Transportation, FBI, PHMSA, FERC and other federal, state and local agencies for their ongoing support.

yeah, ok.

[conservativepoet]

Yes, it is. I like driving my Chevy Silverado.

I hope they didn’t have to pay any ransom ...

It also reveals the impossibility of the Green New Deal.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Thank goodness for that. No roadtrips still for the next few days.

Maryland “Freak State” PING!

‘no mention if they did/didn’t pay the ransome...’

Exactly what I was looking for!

[SkyDancer]

I read where Whitmer shutdown gas pipeline into Canada; is this true?

[Robert DeLong]

So, did they pay the ransom?

[Captain Peter Blood]

Wonder how much they were asking, $10 million maybe?

[Nifster]

Hope they fired the Iat department

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

It sounds like they didn’t.

Which, of course, means they did. :-(

[Robert DeLong]

Well that’s good. It means they actually most likely had a disaster plan in place, and it seems to be working.

[srmanuel]

Yes it’s true...

That doesn’t make any sense. They want petro usage stopped period. Supposedly no new gasoline vehicles in my state after 2029.

[monkeyshine]

$10 million? The Mafia skimmed that much in the early 1980s. Each week. Just from New York City. And that’s not adjusting for inflation.

[RetiredTexasVet]

I doubt any ransom paid. After the release of the info that the CIA/NSA/FBI can leave a false trail for internet intrusions, I am doubtful that it was a foreign ransomware attack at all. The entire administration is a RICO operation and I put nothing past their evil intentions.
