Okay, this is getting ridiculous! A tanker truck overturned at the Philadelphia International Airport and spilled fuel all over the runway in front of Terminal F. All commuter/regional flights have been halted until the spill is cleaned up. The amount of fuel spilled is undetermined at this time.
You just can’t make this stuff up folks!
Tony Hayward has not been spotted near the airport!
A tanker truck carrying over 7,000 gallons of fuel had an accident near Clarks Ferry. Almost all the fuel in the tanker spilled near the confluence of the Juniata and Susquehanna Rivers, north of Harrisburg.
The tanker, owned by Nittany Oil Company of State College, swerved to avoid another vehicle exiting the Clarks Ferry Truck Stop parking lot. The other vehicle pulled out in front of tanker. The tanker rolled over and only an inch of fuel remained in the tanker after the accident. About 7,000 gallons of gasoline and diesel fuel spilled into the Juniata River, creating a “minor” fish kill. I suppose it’s only minor if you aren’t one of the dead fish.
The fuel spill has spread 8 – 10 miles down river, which is causing Harrisburg to consider shutting off a water intake valve from the Susquehanna. A boom has been placed on the river to contain the spill.
This sounds eerily familiar. Fortunately, Tony Hayward is not involved in the cover-up clean-up.
