As Native Americans protesters face arrest in North Dakota for blocking the construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline, TheAntiMedia's Carey Wedler reports a gasoline pipeline spill is currently unfolding in the South. The leak has prompted Alabama Gov. Robert Bentley, Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam, and Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal to declare states of emergency.

The Colonial Pipeline, which runs from Houston to New York, began leaking on September 9, spilling 250,000 gallons of gasoline, or 6,000 barrels. The pipeline was built in 1962, and the current leak in Helena, Alabama, is the largest one Colonial Pipeline has experienced in 20 years, Reuters noted.

AL.com reported that according to the Colonial Pipeline company’s spokesperson, Bill Berry, the pipeline could still be leaking:

I’m north of Greensboro. Everything was normal last night and this morning, no pumps closed, no stations closed, price unchanged. Tonight I’d say about half the pumps are closed and price is starting to jump, a Citgo went from 2.25 to 2.59. Most are still around 2.25. I paid 2.09 last night. Same station is 2.29 tonight.

Around $1.99 or so.

SC gasoline tax is considerably lower than NC.

Give our money hungry guys in the State House time, they will find a way.

I wouldn’t mind so much if they would have fixed the roads.

I26 just below I77 is apparently being repaved since it wasn’t done right the first time.

The leak should be repaired and full service restored by Wednesday of this coming week.

The local media has blown it out of proportion and in some places it has caused gas prices to jump UNNECESSARILY by 40 to 45 cents a gallon.

It’s a man induced panic

TV pimped it and the monkeys all ran out and depleted service stations for the weekend

It’s ridiculous frankly

[wardaddy]

Exactly

Had the stupids simply gone about their business as usual no one would have noticed but the asshat media ran with it and here we are

EVERYBODY ran and filled up everything they could and made this stupid mess

[Rebelbase]

There were only two stations open today in my son’s town. And in my area 1/2 of them are out of gas.

Gaia and the EPA forbid we update critical infrastructure.

[Jemian]

Wow! We must have also had a huge earthquake and shifted B’ham to Tuscaloosa. Always knew it was a Bama town.

You never know. The EPA could take a couple of years to approve the repairs, especially if your state is leaning Trump.
