This gives Alaskans a bad name! What an idiot. From what I heard, after the guy shot it, his brother called the cops on him. What is really scary is that Ayleska, the company which oversees the pipeline(security, maintenance etc.) had stated just a couple of weeks ago right after the World Trade Center strikes, that the pipeline had been shot before and that the steel was over an 1 inch thick, so a normal bullet could NOT penetrate it.
