In response to a significant fuel leak in the Olympic Pipeline, state governors in Oregon and Washington have declared states of emergency to mitigate fuel shortages threatening airlines and holiday travelers. BP has been fined $3.8 million for an earlier gas spill, and the current leak was discovered in a gasoline line servicing the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. The pipeline was partially restarted after crews identified the source of the leak, but the disruption has already caused airlines to implement backup plans, requiring unexpected fuel stops for flights as jet fuel supplies dwindle. Local officials are scrambling to ensure adequate fuel flow as the region braces for increased travel during the holiday season.
