Facebook has come under fire for leaving broken drilling equipment on the seafloor off the coast of Oregon since April after an attempt to install an undersea fiber optic cable failed.
The Oregon Department of State Lands (DSL) announced in late July that Edge Cable Holdings, a subcontractor for Facebook, notified them of drilling equipment that was left behind during the undersea fiber optic cable project off the coast of Tierra Del Mar. Edge Cable Holdings had planned to bore a hole 3,000 feet out to sea, where it would connect with a cable from Asia.
