Oil spill in Kansas creek shuts down Keystone pipeline

Repair and clean up crews rushed to Kansas after a section of the Keystone pipeline ruptured in the state's Washington county. The owner, Canada's TC Energy, shut it down after 588,000 gallons of oil poured into a local creek. Elise Preston reports.

Pipelines should never be laid by a water source!!!!

[deniselowe]

This is precisely the reason why I opposed this project. Now look what happened!

[jenk]

Tell me again why it was such a bad idea to cancel this pipe line.
God help these hard working farmers, who are trying to save their land.
Thank god this thing got cancelled before it got to Native American lands.

Oil companies are less than incompetent.

You can imagine whoever approved this extraction in the first place did not hire a reputable contractor or company.

[bonniehall]

Yeah this is great!! This one reason we don't need to run anymore long pipelines.

It won't be long until Keystone blames the farm owner and the people who allowed them to put the pipeline there.

No drinking water affected? I guess these folks have never walked alongside a stream. And they fail to mention farms and livestock too. These pipes leak annually.

Here's how the people who make money off it feel. It's doesn't go near my land so, who cares.

Well it's not like this was a great concern about this project!! Yet no one wanted to listen as it was all about the money!! A disabled US Army Veteran 😥

[RichAction]

Yea right they better drink rain water 😢

[VegasVaron]

I'm sorry for the environment and whatever wildlife is left, but I wonder where this farm stood with respect to the pipeline? Where they in favor of Keystone? As usual, the news organization was lazy in their reporting.

Business as usual.... Mmmm.. America start adding crude oil into the nutritional program. Get our daily dose of 1 gram of crude oil per day.

[RodneySeay]

This wasn't done on purpose.. lol
