Disgruntled Employees At Oil Tank Farm Dump 45,000+ Gallons Into Forest, Streams - CentreDaily.com
Edited on Thu Aug-21-08 12:20 PM by hatrack
LUDLOW, Pa. — About 45,000 gallons of oil are contaminating the Allegheny National Forest, more than four times the initial estimate.

Meanwhile, police have filed more serious charges against the father and son team accused of causing the contamination, leading a judge to set bail at $500,000.

Police say 42-year-old Andrew Horton dropped off his son, 22-year-old Christopher, at oil tanks owned by Snyder Brothers Inc. Police say the younger Horton opened the valves on the tanks, spilling the oil into the forest and contaminating a stream that spills into a northwestern Pennsylvania reservoir.

Police say both men were disgruntled former employees of Snyder.

3. disgruntled? so they take it out on the entire population and the environment? nice going,
you clueless cretins.

I would have set bail a whole lot higher than that.

is there any investigation into the owners of the company?

4. Safe bet they didn't give a rat's ass about the forest...
they just wanted to sabotage the company by emptying their tanks.

and leave 'em there until they rot.
