THE OTHER OIL ACCIDENT

While focus has been on the huge Gulf BP oil "accident," there has been another one involving the Alaskan pipeline. News on this accident has been lost amongst the bigger "accident." The company managing the pipeline is majority owned (47%) by, who else, BP which has the largest interest. It was shut down for more than 3 days, shutting off around 10% of the U.S. oil supply for that period, but is up and running again, I guess.
