The pipeline is subject to all sorts of problems. These are a few of them:

  • Pipeline slid too strongly into the vertical beam causing a busted cross-support beam.

  • The steel pipe is vulnerable to crazy drunk people with guns causing large spills on wild landscapes.

Daniel Lewis shot the pipeline in 2001 causing 285,000 gallons to spill
