Ruptured pipeline spills oil onto California coast

May 20, 2015 by Rob Hislop Leave a Comment

A broken pipeline spilled about 80-thousand litres (667 Barrels) of crude oil into the ocean before it was shut off Tuesday, creating a slick stretching about 6 kilometres along the central California coastline.

The slick stretched along the coast and was about 50 metres into the water.

The 24-inch pipeline is owned by Plains All American Pipeline, which said it shut down the flow of oil and the culvert carrying the oil to the ocean was blocked.
