British Petroleum (BP) confirmed that the leak triggered a week-long shutdown of the entire Olympic Pipeline system that supplies the Seattle Tacoma international airport , and originated in a 20" pipe, the larger of the two gasoline pipelines in the Olympic system
The leak prompted an excavation went on for a week, to find the source of the leak, and both the gas and the jet fuel pipelines were shut down.
The pipeline has caused disruptions in air travel during the holiday week after both lines were shut down to locate the source of the problem, sparking anxiety over refueling delays and shortages right before Thanksgiving.
Patrick DeHaan, head of petroleum analysis for Gas Buddy, warned that holiday travel could still be affected. "You'd need over 1,000 tanker trucks every day to replace this pipeline,"
This pipeline also supplies Oregon but our brave leader Tina Kotek has told us not to worry.

governors are utter shit. I haven't heard of a single one since Arnold Schwarzenegger that anyone respected. My family has been annoyed by the governor of Michigan for ever, and everyone that isn't liberal California has hated Newsom since day one. The New York governor during covid took actions that killed how many old people in a nursing home?
