Residents in multiple southern states were scrambling to fill-up on Friday amid the scare.
On Friday, September 9, 2016, a mining inspector in Shelby County, Ala., detected a gasoline odor on mining property. He alerted Colonial Pipeline, which operates two pipelines in the immediate vicinity. Both pipelines were shut down as a precaution and Colonial employees were dispatched for a visual survey of the site. Upon confirmation of a release, Colonial Pipeline mobilized a coordinated response effort with federal, state and local agencies as well as local emergency responders.
Colonial Pipeline is currently shipping gasoline on Line 2 to help mitigate the impact of the service interruption to Line 1. Colonial has also been able to make limited deliveries upstream of western Alabama on Line 1. In addition, fuel shippers continue to implement contingency plans to further mitigate potential disruptions to their operations.
Colonial Pipeline has maintained an open line of communication with stakeholders across our system to prepare for any potential disruption in supply and will continue to update these reports as details become available. Colonial Pipeline has more than 680 employees and partners on site working as safely and expeditiously as possible to repair the impacted segment of pipe and return to normal operations.

This can not be a genuine crisis. Just Google “average daily gasoline consumption in the USA”…….you will find the figure is about 384.74 million gals./day……divide this figure into the reported 250,000 gals. supposedly lost in the spill, multiply by 100 to acquire the percentage and you get ” .064978 %”. LESS THAN 1% of our average DAILY consumption was lost. This is not sufficient to constitute a “State of Emergency”……..clearly this is a false pretense for some bogus regional event. What are they trying to draw attention away from ? Something nefarious in the works ?
Fake story, I got plenty of gas
You know yanks will panic about anything and visiting Russians visiting the country are told to only travel in groups no bigger than ten people or the local US police department gets calls about a russian invasion.
Gas will be delivered by tankers whilst they fix the pipes if they are indeed broken and this is not just the government doing a little crisis testing
