I used to work at an oil terminal where we took in the colonial pipeline. Colonial was a part of my life for 10 years. The amount of product that came through that line is unimaginable. The fact that it’s down is going to cause some major problems. I just hope they don’t hit the Harbor Pipeline too… that would be even worse. Hopefully they figure this shit out and fix this shit. Trump needs to come back ASAP. This entire country is turning into a giant joke.

Yea I was a surveyor on the west coast years ago and wonder what the hackers could actuqlly do. I know that pipeline and ancillaries are monitored constantly, but people still need to open the valves and push the button to turn the pumps on. But I was doing local transfers for barges and between terminals.
I remember them transferring to a lot of computer based stuff for the remote stuff when I was leaving the industry. I’d imagine by now a lot of it is automated. At least the remote aspects of the operations.
