A Houston-based company says one of its pipelines has spilled more than 8,000 gallons of jet fuel into a river in Indiana.
Buckeye Pipe Line says it shut the line down immediately when it found the pressure problem Friday night, the Associated Press reported on Sunday.
Local officials say they have placed booms in St Marys River, the body of water into which the fuel poured, and are vacuuming the oil off the surface, the AP reported.
The clean up may take weeks, according to Decatur Mayor Kenneth L. Meyer.

I'm sure Mike Pence is okay with it.

(1,900 posts)The spill was in the St Mary's River which empties in to the Maumee River which flows through NW Ohio to Lake Erie. Based on your handle and by your logic, I can safely assume that you're OK with it too.

(16,937 posts)former governor Mikey Pence is on the scene making sure that the company does not have to suffer any consequences just because they advanced the destruction of the environment just because they wanted to make a little money to give to people that allow them to continue to do that.
