BP pipeline sprays ‘oily mist’ over 33 acres of Alaskan tundra!


Although hard to belive that BP can still perform work for the federal government after the deepwater Horizon 4 years ago, They are already causing destruction in Alaska!

The company was at fault in at least two oil spills in the same region since 2006. That year, an estimated 267,000 gallons of oil seeped through a quarter-inch sized hole in a corroded BP pipeline. That accident went unnoticed for five days, until an oil worker smelled the aroma of crude when driving through the area.
