ANCHORAGE, Alaska: Up to several thousand barrels of crude oil from the trans-Alaska pipeline spilled Tuesday into a massive tank and overflowed into a containment area, shutting down the 800-mile (1,300-kilometer) line until the hazard is removed.
The spill happened during a scheduled pipeline shutdown at a pump station near Fort Greely, about 100 miles (160 kilometers) south of Fairbanks.
