Atwater Village Pipeline Rupture Spews Crude Oil

A rupture in an above-ground pipeline that sent roughly 10,000 gallons of
crude oil spewing onto Atwater Village streets early Thursday appeared to
have been caused by a valve failure, the pipeline company said.
.
The rupture sprayed black oil 20 feet into the air, splattering the roof
and walls of a neighboring strip club, the Gentlemen's Club, and forcing
the early-morning guests to be evacuated.
.
Firefighters said they discovered the 20-inch pipeline break at a Plains
All American Pipeline pump station shortly after midnight Thursday in the
5100 block of West San Fernando Road.
.
Plains All American Pipeline, based in Texas, is investigating the cause
of the rupture, but said in a statement that "early indications are that
the top part of a valve failed, allowing oil to escape in a spray."
.
The pipeline was shut off remotely as fire crews worked to contain the
runoff, according to the Los Angeles Fire Department. It took about 45
minutes for the oil to stop flowing.

Firefighters were able to contain much of the spill by using loads of sand
from a nearby cement company to build a berm, creating a sort of lagoon of
oil that tanker trucks were then able to vacuum up.

By the time crews were able to shut off the pipeline, the spill had
created pools of oil, some about 40 feet wide and knee-deep, in the
largely industrial area, according to the Fire Department.
