In the UK you cant keep more than 30L/ 6.59908 Gallons of fuel at home it's illegal. They have to be in special petrol canisters, that woman filling up the plastic bag, they would never be allowed it over here. ( And for good reason) that was nuts, you could see fuel leaking everywhere. She is putting herself in danger and everyone else.

Wait it’s metaphoric right we are out of gas on the treadmill of life. I got it. Shortage is the best way to get an instant increase in the price.
I would guess this is the tip of the iceberg.
Where is a monorail when you need one ?
Is Disneyland still closed ? Pipe ...... pipe oh never mind !

It is now reported that Colonial Pipeline paid the ransom to the hackers. Unbelievable.

I did industrial programming (PLCs) for many years. I can't believe that they can't run everything manually until they fix the problem. They should have had a backup plan for if their servers were compromised.

This is correct. Colonial has an EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN which should be able to get a slug of anything, gas, jet fuel, diesel down the pipe within 24 hours. The hack is fake.

The only thing any automation is for is to make sure these fuels don't get mixed that each slug is pure whatever is being sent down the pipe.

They have had leakage issues for quite some time. Cook up a good story so you can divert the financial hit to make the repairs, have your lobbyists cover your ass in DC and all is good.

Speaking of getting paid, the "hackers" allegedly got paid in Bitcoin.
