KTLA News: O.C. oil spill: Company waited more than 3 hours to shut down pipeline after alarm went off
After an alarm went off in a company control room at 2:30 a.m. Saturday ? signaling a rupture that would spill tens of thousands of gallons of crude into the Pacific Ocean ? the company waited more than three hours to shut down the pipeline, at 6:01 a.m., according to preliminary findings of an investigation into the spill.
The Houston-based company took another three hours to notify the U.S. Coast Guard?s National Response Center for oil spills, investigators said, further slowing the response to an accident for which Amplify workers spent years preparing.
