Besides, I'm 'supporting' the oil industry here, this sort of incident is an integral consequence of taking the oil, we all use, out of the ground. :rolleyes:

It's integral to being negligent.

I wouldn't say so, they seem to have responded well; sometimes stuff just happens ie pipelines get damaged/corrode in the ground.

I know at my local oilfield, the flowlines between well heads the gathering station have had problems with corrosion, oil has even leaked into the ground !

Corroded pipe can be replaced.

Did you think I was suggesting they shouldn't be ?
