Second sabotage attempt leaks Alaska pipeline near Fairbanks
State troopers say a 20 foot fuse and a dark stain indicate a second sabotage attempt on the trans Alaska pipeline near Fairbanks. The 800 mile line was shut down after the leak, with thousands of barrels of Prudhoe Bay crude spilling and a cleanup underway overnight. Authorities described an explosive hole in the line, with estimates suggesting up to 20 000 barrels could spill if the section drained completely.
