I wonder if they will quote me...

Actually, what caused it was aliens landing a really heavy space ship on the pipeline.


"A comment on the Deseret News' Web site attributed the break to a third-party who was digging without a permit and struck the pipeline."

The area of the spill is within the known range of a rare cactus, Sclerocactus wetlandicus Hochstatter. This species of cactus is known only from limited populations in eastern Utah in Duchesne and Uintah counties. It is protected under the Endangered Species Act. The species persists above ground through the winter so a search by a professional botanist should be made to determine if it is present in the area.
