REOPENING? THE PIPELINE IS NOT GOING TO BE AN EASY TASK? WELL IAN RIGHT NOW WE’RE IN HOMEWOOD AT THE BP GAS STATION. IT WOULD BE FULL RIGHT NOW OR AT LEAST WITH CARS GETTING GAS, BUT THAT’S NOT THE CASE BECAUSE THEY’RE OUT OF GAS HERE. ALL THEY HAVE IS DIESEL. THEY SOLD OUT OF 5,500 GALLONS AS OF YESTERDAY EVENING. NOW THE GAS DISTRIBUTOR I SPOKE WITH HAS A DISTRIBUTES IN ALABAMA AND SAYS THE INDUSTRY HAS NEVER EXPERIENCED A CYBER ATTACK LIKE THIS. IN FACT, THIS IS NOT A LIGHT SWITCH KIND OF SIT. CREATI THIS IS A TOTALLY UNKNOWN SITUATION TO THIS INDUSTRY. AND HOW WE REACT TO IT’S GOING TO BE INTERESTING BUZZY BYRAM IS THE PRESIDENT OF BYRAM ENERGY AND TRANSPORTATION. HE LEARNED ABOUT COLONIAL PIPELINE CYBERATTACK AND SHUTDOWN SATURDAY MORNING. WE’VE JUST GOTTA FIND A WAY TO GET THE PRODUCT FROM SAY THE PELHAM COLONIAL TANKS TO THE TERMINALS THERE IN BIRMINGHAM BYRAM WHOLESALES AND DISTRIBUTES FUEL. HE BUYS PRODUCTS FROM BIRMINGHAM THAT SUPPLIED THROUGH COLONIAL PIPELINE. SO HE KNOWS WHAT THIS SHUTDOWN IS DOING TO PEOPLE ON BOTH. THE SUPPLIES VERY LIMITED AT THIS POINT. WE HAVE VERY FEW ANSWERS THAT WE CAN GET GOING FORWARD AS TO WHEN THE SUPPLY WILL BE REPLENISHED. BYRAM HAS BEEN TOLD THERE’S PLENTY OF SUPPLY AND BACKUP TANKS ARE FULL. THIS IS A LEARNING EXPERIENCE AND HOPEFULLY THE INDUSTRY YOU’LL GET SOMETHING POSITIVE OUT OF IT AND AND WE’LL BE ABLE TO MOVE FORWARD AND NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THESE TYPE OF DISTRACTIONS AGAIN. NOW BYRAM TELLS ME HE DOESN’T EXPECT GAS PRICES TO GO UP BY THE DOLLAR IN THE PAST. ALABAMA HAS SEEN GAS PRICES GO UP AFTER A MAJOR HURRICANES LIKE KATRINA. HE SAYS GAS PRICES MAY GO UP ABOUT 10 TO 20 CENTS, BUT NOTHING TOO EXTREME IN HOMEWOOD. I’M MAGDALA LUCENT WVTM 13 AND GOVERNOR KAY IVY RESPONDING TO NEWS OF THE CYBER ATTACK TODAY AFTER SPEAKING WITH THE US DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY. SHE TELLS US THAT SHE WAS ASSURED THE PIPELINE WOULD BE OPERATIONAL IN A FEW DAYS AND SHE’S URGING PEOPLE NOT TO PANIC BY SHE SAYS BE COURTEOUS ONLY FILL UP YOUR WHAT YOU NEED T
