I NEVER said it was terrorism you nut case...some looney drunk guy with a GUN...that's ALL... Geeeeesh. Authorities have arrested Daniel Carson Lewis, 37, in connection with the shooting. Lewis is accused of firing rounds from a high-caliber rifle at the pipeline about 2:30 p.m. Thursday, puncturing the line with one. He is charged with criminal mischief, assault, driving while intoxicated and misconduct involving weapons. Lewis, whose brother and mother live in the Livengood area, has denied the charges. Authorities say the shooting appears to have been a random act of vandalism. But the leak could hardly have been in a worse place. The bullet pierced the pipe near a valve at the base of a long uphill rise. When Alyeska halted oil flow, about 20,000 barrels of crude flowed back on the valve and the bullet hole. Under intense pressure, oil shot out. of course the fact that the pipeline could possible lose that much oil from ONE BULLET shows how fragile THAT delivery system is CC
