Massive California oil spill threatens wildlife and closes beaches What we covered here
A massive oil spill off the coast of Huntington Beach, Orange County, has devastated some local wildlife and forced beach closures.
A 17-mile pipeline leaked 3,111 barrels — or about 127,000 gallons — of crude oil into the Pacific Ocean, Amplify Energy's CEO said.
Cleanup efforts are underway and divers are inspecting the pipeline, hoping to find the exact source of the spill, but the leak appears to have stopped, officials say.
