DRONE FOOTAGE: Crews find Olympic Pipeline's source of leak after more than a week

Описание: Two weeks after an oil pipeline leak was first discovered, neither its operators nor regulators say they’re any closer to figuring out what caused it or how big the spill may be.

In a statement, BP, the company that operates the pipeline, said testing conducted on Monday allowed them to safely restart part of the pipeline Tuesday morning.

The pipeline is responsible for sending fuel to Sea-Tac airport, helping get hundreds of flights off the ground each day. During the pipeline's shutdown, airlines have needed to stop long-haul flights at nearby airports to refuel, and have been tankering in fuel on incoming flights.

But this is not the first oil leak from this pipeline, in fact, there have been three in the past five years: in 2020, 2023, and again now.
