That just came in. I hope LA GAF is okay.

The Los Angeles Fire Department says a ruptured oil pipe near the suburb of Glendale has spilled about 50,000 gallons of crude oil onto streets.

According to a Fire Department news release, the leak from a 20-inch pipe was reported at about 12:15 a.m. in Atwater Village and the oil line was remotely shut off. No injuries were reported.

Oil spilled over approximately half a mile and is knee-high in some areas. Hazardous materials crews are on the scene.

A handful of commercial businesses are affected, including a strip club that was evacuated.

Yup. Highly flammable with a low flashpoint.

I hope that doesn't catch on fire somehow.

I'm not sure if it's me being extremely tired, but this got me pretty good.

Good job.

Shit, man. They better get that cleaned up ASAP.

That's okay LA, it's not like we're running out of oil soon and our economy depends on every last drop we got or anything. Let it flow, let it flow.
