The Los Angeles Fire Department reports a ruptured oil pipe near Glendale has spilled about 50,000 gallons of crude oil onto streets.

According to a Fire Department release, the leak from a 20-inch pipe was reported around 12:15 a.m. and the oil line was remotely shut off. No injuries were reported.

Oil spilled over approximately half a mile and is knee high in some areas. A handful of commercial businesses are affected.

Daily Mail whom I trust more then ABC, says it 10,000 gallons not 50,000. It won't stop them running around with their hair on fire over it however.

Anybody got a match?

A big win for the opponents of the Keystone pipeline, who can point to it as a “See, I told you so”.

I heard 10,000 gallons was spilled on the car radio.

This is an above ground pipe. Sabotage sounds right.

Ban oil from California.

[DTogo]

A "big win" for Keystone opponents or staged spill by the Regime to use as fodder to oppose Keystone?

A-la Fast-n-Furious to undermine the 2nd Amendment?

We need to ban all oil in California to keep it pristine.

Except Al Gores House, he needs to burn a few thousand barrels a day just to keep the lights on.

They need to shut down all California pipelines and transport all oil in safe railroad tank cars operated by Warren Buffet!
