Understandably so. There remains a fire hazard. One stupid could make a real mess of things.

Black Gold raining on the jewels. It sounds like the dirty wealth is not appreciated. They only hate it because the money is from those diabolical and immoral oil companies.

The irony is rich.

20” Oil routed through the middle of a city???? What an opportunity for a terrorist to perpetuate a major explosion and fire to devastate a large populated area, their favorite kind of target. If they haven’t thought of it before, they will now.

Not baby oil, it seems, although that comes to mind.

It’s possible (just a guess) that these oil pipelines date from the 1910’s - 1930’s.

I heard that the owner of the "Dew Drop Inn" bar just down the block, had fond memories of the "Catch a Greased Pig" contest at the County Fair when he was a kid, so he started a "Catch an Oiled Stripper" contest at his bar.

Lord. The news is saying 50,000 gallons. No wonder our world is so screwed up when they can’t even get the number of gallons right.

They’re missing a great opportunity — strippers rolling around in oil is always a big draw.

Why an oil line? It might or might not catch fire. Typically relatively easy to turn off. Probably the major gasoline / diesel lines would be a better target if they were going after liquid petroleum products, or if they wanted a big big big bang for a little buck, there's always natural gas pipelines in just about every major city in the world.

Or just blow up one of the major fiber trunks and really hurt us.

By that logic we should get rid of all the natural gas mains.

Some clay and wood pipelines there are still in service.
