Original title: the U.S. oil spill exposed a "concealment" scandal after delaying the closure of oil pipelines for several hours
Reference News Network reported on October 8 that according to USA today's website reported on October 6, the US Coast Guard is investigating whether a large cargo ship collided and opened an underwater oil pipeline, resulting in the pipeline spilling up to 144000 gallons of oil into the waters of Southern California.
In a statement to the associated press, Herbert, which operates the Rotterdam MRT, denied playing a role in the oil spill. A U.S. official told the associated press on the 6th that the "Rotterdam MRT" has become the focus of the oil spill investigation.
The report said the newly disclosed details are part of a series of oil spill investigation actions, including delays in closing the oil pipeline for several hours, notifying government officials and informing the public. Federal regulators said it took several hours for the parent company of the pipeline, amplefi energy, to close the leaking pipeline and notify government officials.
Martin wilsher, chief executive officer of ampliffe energy, insisted that the company was not aware of the oil spill problem or the pipeline problem before it detected the oil belt emerging at 8:09 a.m. on October 2. However, federal regulators said that the company's own system implied that the pipeline "may have failed" when the "low pressure alarm" sounded at 2:30 a.m. that day.
The report said that in addition to public criticism on how long it will take for the oil pipeline to be closed, the time for the company and the U.S. Coast Guard to report the disaster was also reviewed.
The pipeline and hazardous materials safety administration of the U.S. Department of transportation said in a letter to the company that it took more than six hours from the initial alarm of insufficient pressure in the oil pipeline to the company's reporting of the oil spill to the 24-hour national response center of the federal government.
It is reported that the large-scale oil spill in California occurred on October 1. But no one told the millions who went to the beach.
The coast guard was also censored because the public was not informed of the leak until the afternoon of the 2nd, the report said. A coast guard official admitted that on the evening of the 1st, a "kind man" had reminded the agency to pay attention to the luster on the water, but the agency did not take action until the next day.
