Stunning Photos Show Scope Of 105,000-Gallon Oil Spill On California's Coast

Tuesday’s pipeline rupture near Santa Barbara may have sent 21,000 gallons of crude oil into the Pacific. By Wednesday morning, cleanup crews had removed more than 6,000 gallons.

Cleanup crews worked to remove tens of thousands of gallons of crude oil from the Southern California coastline after a pipeline ruptured on land Tuesday.
