These aren't your $30 archery targets, buddy. This is the OIL BUSINESS, man, they paid $2,$3, $4,000 a crack for these lifelike repro's. ; )
The pictures are great and really tell the story. Where did you first see them, NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN, or the NYT/ Washinton Post, or was it in the LA Times?
I am really glad you asked that. NO, I didn't see them in any of the sources you suggest, not even FOX News. I seriously doubt these images have been broadcast by any TV News outlet. I first saw them on.......wait for it.......
Hooray for the NUMBER ONE source of truth-in-information on the planet!!!
These photos are not new either. I saw them about two years ago.
Thanks for your reply. Did you take the link and look at the other pics? It is an education on ANWR and the scenery is stunning. Here is the photo index page of another website dedicated to TAPS Trans-Alaska Pipeline System. It documents the construction of the Pipeline. Also beautiful and informative. They spared no expense in making it safe, efficient and VERY low impact.
As far as being SAFE, we just experienced a magnitude7.9 earthquake.
There were bent VSM's, even broken VSM's. The pipe was off the VSM's in several places,BUT, there was no SPILLED OIL.
There were millions of dollars lost while the pipeline was shut down for repairs, but no spilled oil.
