Thousands of gallons of crude oil spilled over a half-mile area in
Los Angeles after a break in an above-ground pipeline on Thursday, the
city fire department said.
No injuries were reported, the Los
Angeles Fire Department said in a statement. The pipeline was shut off
remotely, and the incident shut down a section of the Atwater Village
area of the city, a local NBC affiliate reported.
An earlier statement from the fire department said the spill was 1
million gallons, but it subsequently revised the estimate down to 50,000
gallons, which would be just over 1,000 barrels. Local media later reported that had been revised down again, to 10,000 gallons. MORE
