HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif. – The company that owns a massive cargo ship that had drawn scrutiny in the offshore pipeline rupture that fouled miles of beaches and sensitive wetlands says its ship was not involved in the environmental calamity and has been cleared by investigators for any involvement.
Authorities say a ship's anchor may have dragged and ripped the pipeline, which spewed up to 144,000 gallons of oil last week into the Pacific Ocean about 5 miles from shore.
