Trans-Alaska Pipeline Leak Worrying Officials

"Oil spewed like a geyser from the trans-Alaska oil pipeline Friday, more than 24 hours after a man shot a hole in the line. Crews struggled to stop the leak and clean up an estimated 280,000 gallons of oil, which under high pressure sprayed through a small hole onto about 2 acres of trees, brush and tundra. "Our priority is that no oil migrates from the site to the Tolovana River a mile away," said Brad Hahn of the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation.
