The Hidden Oil Wells Of Los Angeles

As somebody who lives in Los Angeles, it was particularly shocking to see this video which reveals that the majority of the city – including such landmarks as Beverly Hills High School, the Beverly Center shopping mall, and the Farmer’s Market – are actually built on top of functioning oil wells. The video explains how the city hides its massive oil drilling in plain sight of its residents. Pretty interesting stuff.
