The video says 100,000,000 gallons.

Get your facts straight, guno.

Approximately 10,000 gallons is actually what it states.

10,000-gallon crude oil spill in Atwater looked 'like a lake'*-*Los Angeles Times

The spill occurred shortly after 1 a.m. after a 20-inch above-ground pipeline burst in an industrial area in the 5100 block of West San Fernando Road, sending a geyser 20 to 50 feet into the air, said Los Angeles Fire Capt. Jamie Moore.

...

Crews were able to shut off the pipeline remotely, but by the time that was done, the spill had created pools of oil, some about 40 feet wide and knee-deep in some places.

20-inch pipe above ground pipe and able to shut off remotely. Bigger pipe, more pressure, and no remote shutoff. This might not have been such a small mess.

La Brea tar pits could use a rival attraction.

Wouldn't the Keystone pipeline be safer?

Aaaaaand liberals are still enjoying their petroleum based products.

Crude is as natural was whale shit btw.

I wonder where liberals think tar balls come from on all of the beaches around the world. George Bush?

...because of Global Warming?

50k? Wow almost identical to the Solar Plant Spill

46,000 gallons of heat transfer fluid was leaked and sprayed all over pristine land and vegetation, took months to clean up.

Major spill at FPL solar plant gets glossed over

I thought OPs were supposed to contain more than a link or some cut and paste bullshit...

...Opening Posts require more than a Copy and Paste with a Link, You need to include relevant, on topic material of your own.

I guess guano has no material of his own...






Now that that is out of the way...


It's in Atwater Village, how could they tell?

 

[Theowl32]

...because of Global Warming?

That is so 2008. The morons are being led around by an ambiguous term called "global disruption."

 

[SteadyMercury]

Aaaaaand liberals blah blah blah liberals blah

Hah that must be a shitty life to be wired to view everything around you in shades of whether can be used to attack some nebulous ideology label

 

[DigitalDrifter]

Wait a second, nowhere in the article does it say racist white heterosexual males are to blame for this !

 

[RoshawnMarkwees]

lefty propaganda bullshit

Since you hate oil so much like a good brainwashed lefty sheeple, put down and turn off your plastic laden fossil fuel powered electronic internet communications device and chuck it into the recycle bin immediately before you melt from global warming.
Or not.
