I’m not sure what commenter means by PR stunt but it is interesting that this company had a massive (and massively under-reported) pipeline leak scandal in the past year. I imagine Colonial is still managing that crisis and now have this new one to deal with. If they’re needing to do repairs or assessments for the earlier pipeline leaks now might be an opportunity to do so under a different headline which can blame an external adversary instead of themselves.

Did you read the article I linked to?

I live down there and you have NO IDEA what this company has been up to. I mean what could be worse,having to shut down because of another leak or them blaming an outside agitator for shutting down the pipeline?
