Maybe it didn't fall off but a big bird was murdered as it flew through and knocked it off.

Makes me wonder what was in the drums that got squashed...



55 gallons ---greater than 1 bbl of oil (42 gal) would be a 'major spill' and reportable on any oilfield site.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
