Unknown cause? I’m betting there’s either a hole or a crack in the pipe or the seal between segments has eroded. Any takers?

They should start by checking the movements of FBI agents in the area.

Right.

The Deep State has weaponized itself. Anything that doesn't line up with its agenda or the agenda of its political arm, the Democrat Party, or its social arm, the Woke Mob, is vulnerable.

The Deep State, the Democrat Party, and the Woke Mob are the Enemy Within.

Anyone, any institution, or any corporation that supports one of the three (or more) is counted among the enemy of our country and our freedom.

If the pipeline operators want this delivery system to continue operation they damn well better get on top of the anti-spill technology needed to prevent such spills (even if sabotage is involved).

It goes without saying, this is a highly politically charged issue and our side is vulnerable.

For the economy's sake, this system has to work without incident (or at least with very limited spillage).

Bet the FBI antifa is out and about no doubt. The war against oil is ongoing plunging us deeper into the cold dark reality where the majority Americans are still asleep

How many residents? Three? Four? It’s not a very populous area.
