This is from today's newspaper. Someone made a very expensive mistake. A contractor was preparing the site for a shopping center and they struck a large diameter crude oil pipeline. The shut off valve was a ways away, and 88,000 gallons of crude spewed out. It looked like an old time gusher for a while. It was spewing many feet into the air.
The good thing is the heavy equipment crew that caused it, started building temporary dikes to contain the mess. The contractor is 100% responsible for the cleanup, and the loss of oil. I hope is insurance is paid up, and has good limits.
More important, I am glad I am not responsible for that whoops.
