COLORADO SPRINGS â Five days after the Colonial Pipeline shuts down, drivers in Colorado Springs are experience long lines at the gas pump.
The Colonial Pipeline delivers close to 45% of the fuel consumed on the East Coast.
The pipeline s computer system was hit by a cyberattack on Friday, resulting in the shutdown.
Although the pipeline does not serve in Colorado, the state is feeling the impacts. I have come here for twenty years and have never had to wait 20 minutes, said Jody Harbin, Colorado Springs community member.
