I've said it once and I'll say it again, the 101 freeway is nothing but trouble.
Always take side streets!
Jokes aside. Why did it take them 3 hours to shut off the pipeline? They really should have a quicker process than that.

Always the pipes, makes sense.

I'm not sure why it would have taken three hours, I'd imagine they would have process controls fail safes built in, maybe the system it outdated.

That is brutal, there is still tar and oil on those beaches from the 1969 spill.

That company should be fined a huge amount of money, that simply cannot be tolerated.
