Officials probe cause of massive oil spill in California
Al Jazeera
Crews are working to clean up weekend spill that coated beaches in crude oil and sent thousands of litres into ocean.
Officials in the United States are investigating whether a 41-year-old pipeline caused an oil spill on the southern coast of California that has killed wildlife and tarnished much of the shoreline.
The spill over the weekend – one of the state’s largest – sent 570,000 litres (126,000 gallons) of crude oil into the Pacific Ocean and fouled the sands of Huntington Beach as well as other coastal communities.
Officials say the spill could keep beaches closed for weeks or even months, as clean-up crews dressed in white coveralls and helmets on Monday worked along a beach and wetlands running inland from the ocean on the eastern side of the coastal highway.
