Sabotage? Domestic terrorism by YOU-KNOW-WHO? You know, the guys here whose leader was snuffed in Syria? Just sayin’. That line is not that old.

That is really disappointing. The 30-year old Alaska pipeline just had it’s worse spill ever at about 250,000 gallons last spring - corroded pipe.

Hard to believe a new pipe could have such a leak. I wouldn’t put it past the environmentalist to have messed with it - although if that was the case the company would have mentioned it. I’m glad that it appears the spill was fairly contained.

And to put some perspective to it - the Valdez spilled 11 million gallons of crude.

Sabotage?

That was my first thought as well. Makes no sense it just happened in that area

Sabotage? Too soon for other causes.

My money’s on sabotage by the Green New Dealers/ enviro-nazis.
Would be just like them to pollute the environment they claim to care about.
Note the wording of the Sierra Club statement, and its rapid-fire timing.
See? Golly, those “leaks” keep happening somehow. That’s why we want to shut it down.

Bad weld, faulty valve are some of the possibilities besides external factors.

Current incident estimates published by the company say that 9,120 US barrels (383,040 gallons) or “approximately half the size of an Olympic-sized swimming pool” of crude oil were released into an impacted area of 2,500 square yards - which is “less than half the size of a football field.”

...

Doesn’t seem so bad when you think of it is half a pool.

Crude oil is all natural, organic and aged to perfection.

And after it leaks from the pipe, it’s free range.

The Eco-Terrorists have been getting better at their sabotage, making it more difficult to identify.

They know the media will hysterically report the leak and barely mention the root cause weeks later.

I’m guessing it was sabotage.

X-ray would of caught a bad weld.

Pipelines don’t just fail. They are the safest means of delivering a product. I would sure like to find out what really happened.

Half the size of an Olympic size pool.

And it's all recoverable. No big deal.

If you’re worried about it just light it.

Oil leak news to be taken with a grain of salt.Look at the source for the news. Sputnik News, a Russian disinformation site. Do you think that if there was a major Keystone oil leak that it would not be plastered all over the mainstream media excoriating Trump?
