The oil leak was discovered just north of Edinburg, in the northeast part of the state, and affected about 2,500 square yards of land, the company said. A drop in pressure was detected on Tuesday, and the pipeline was immediately shut down, the company said.The company is not sure how the leak started, but says an independent party is examining the pipeline. "We are establishing air quality, water and wildlife monitoring and will continue monitoring throughout the response.
"This is exactly the kind of spill we are worried about when it comes to Keystone XL being built. It has never been if a pipeline breaks but rather when," said Joye Braun, Indigenous Environmental Network frontline community organizer. The organization criticized the company, saying that it hasn't done enough to secure the infrastructure of the pipeline.
But don't worry, it poses no threat to the environment. KeystonePipeline Trump
Shut the whole pipeline please. This was anticipated and dreaded too.
But..but...it wasn't supposed to leak!
What, no one knew this could happen?
Only 383,040 gallons? That's it?
Were there not protests and counter promises about this issue?
Just a little drip in the pipe. Nothing really. Trump, throw some Bronty. The quicker picker upper kind!!! Thanks, bud.
What a shock — not!
I find it baffling that these rich oil tycoons would allow such an amount to leak
As many people that were against it I'm sure some sort of the sabotage was done
Everyone whines, but also want lower gas prices😂😂😉
'TC Energy company says ' 383 thousand gallons = over 700 thousand gallons leaked
They shouldn’t have even installed it in the first place
The Sioux Native Tribe of Standing Rock have been saying just this...The James River flows south east to the Missouri River down to the Mississippi River..Imagine the pollution that in the end will cause our water ways...WATER IS LIFE..
I stand with Standing Rock...
Saw that coming, right? So what’s the impact? What happens now? Do they just fix and cross their fingers? Oh, thanks, but not really, for the repair and cleanup job creation.
Seems safe. sarcasm
'US pipeline spills have led to 20 fatalities, 35 injuries, $2.6 billion in costs, and more than 34 million gallons spilled.' Catastrophes like this one could have been avoided. Let's stop fossilfuel companies 👉
This is why Quebec did not want the TC project Energie-Est.
All you sheep following CNN!
I think it's funny that the CNN calls Democrats, Dems! I mean, whose side are you on? PoliticsWithValues
There has to be a better way to protect and detect breaks in the pipelines.
Disgusting! I ❤️ clean green renewable energy.
Thanks Trump for the decision to run roughshod over the Native Americans and what they said would happen.
When I saw all those protestors and celebrities protesting I was a little like let's see where this goes. Guess that were 100% right. I feel like an idiot
And what’s the problem? Don’t see any dead fish, birds, etc. like the gulf. Snowflakes bitch as they turn on there heaters on this week and jump in there cars.
Well, we were warned! 🤷🏾♂️
Geesh!
Oil is a product of what? Its just returning to earth. The stuff oil is made of is being hugged right now, trees and other plants. So whats the problem?
Awful!
every body knew this was going to happen sooner or later
I wonder what so call environmental activist sabotaged it?
I like baby pink
Thanks, trump.
Surprise, Surprise!!
Who cause the leak?
This is time to think differently. All this Oil based economy is generating disasters ! Oil will kill earth ! We need clean energy!
Thank God BP aren't involved, the claims from Florida would be flooding in !!!
Hmmmmm
So the native American people were right to worry about leaks from the pipeline on their lands.
A driver was attacked by the Rioter with no reason. They're terrorist!! It's happen at Hong Kong everyday!! Shame on the Rioter
Cool action
That's a nice little big mess!! It's good for the ground!!
This is horrible. We were warned!
Of course it did.
Humans are such a plague ... we suck!
I was just thinking of those pipeline scumbags on Monday.
Why they fought so hard.
We use this stuff to irretrievably ruin the atmosphere, but God forbid a bit of it should leak.
Leak caused by environmental terrorists. Only solution. Don't try to talk sense to me my mind is decided.
I'm against pipelines because of this reason,and it destroys groundwater if sabotaged. Easy to have a BIG distructive impact when done. Safer to truck it where it needs to go,think of the drivers who will lose their livelihood. This is a mistake, Indians know it,so do some of US.
The results of having a pipeline, good luck cleaning that up.
Where irony died, and took the entire ecosystem down with it. Thanks Keystone
Cy YOUNG AWARD RYU!!!
Houston loss is an excuse by talking.
Washington's victory is due to baby shark support.
The odds of winning 9% of Washington made a miracle.
Fucking great!
CNN....where is the coverage of the NOW criminal investigation over the FAKE Meuller investigation. You know...the DOJ is going to pound sand on your coverage. Great news network.
Shocker.
shocking
The parasites of Korean film director Bong Joon-ho are expected to receive the grand prize at the U.S. Academy Awards.
... so the oil wanted to go back home... Oil is natural.
Tulsi Gabbard Overtakes Kamala Harris in New Poll as Layoffs Hit Cash-Strapped Harris Campaign. Holy shit I was right all along. Adulteress affair with Willie Brown has come back to haunt Kamala on Halloween. Great news for America we won't have to here this witch much longer.
Welp, there it is .... don knew that was going to happen but didn’t care (greedy). It’s going to get in the land streams lakes rivers which will effect wildlife fish & eventually humans drinking water. I’m sure trump doesn’t want us to know abt that. How many months ago was this?
Pobody's nerfect
As a US citizen. Fuck our country. we are now, more then ever, slaves to the all mighty, burnable. Stand up for what's right.
Sooooooooo
Oh my budda~
😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡
Huh. It's almost like the exact thing that people were afraid was going to happen actually happened.
Somehow I feel a protester did this.
They’ll probably say Native Americans tomahawked the pipe or something
Told you so!!
Wait. We were promised that this wouldn't happen. KeystonePipeline OilSpill
Completely justifying Native American’s protests against this pipeline. Hopefully none of this made it into the water supply.
RutRo
I guess the white man has not killed every Native American yet....let’s kill their land, livestock and give them cancers if all sorts... I mean a little oil in their drinking water....
But, PennEast keeps telling us in NJ how safe pipelines are for the natural gas they get from fracking.
Nobody saw that coming
Sabotage?
Horrible! Who approved this?!?!
Just the beginning of another disaster ?
oppps
I hate the irresponsibility of this country
Still the safest way to transport it.......idiots
Hmmm...if only someone had told them that this would happen! Federal lawsuits coming soon, I hope!
jwallace9235 that’s a big spill
Classic
We said from the start this damn thing would leak. That's why we opposed it.
Man, if only someone had fought against this and cited literally countless reasons why this was a shitty idea...but hey who knew?
You mean the thing they said would never happen, the thing that they said was such a statistical improbability, the thing that they said was so rare it was foolish to worry about... it already happened? Gosh I am just F’in stunned.
I love the incompetence that discovers this after over 9,000 barrels leak...not after, say 8 barrels. Nice work.
Better that easily cleaned up spill than a flaming rail car torching an entire small town or freezing to death in the cold without fossil fuel modernity.AGWFraud
So can the environmentalists overreact now?
This is exactly why intelligent people didn't want it there. The right wing could care less if oil leaks everywhere and destroyS the environment. As long as the rich get richer that's all they care about.
Imagine that! The corporate criminals can't fly airplanes or keep oil and gas in pipes. RESIST THE MADNESS before it's too late!!!
Make them clean it up and sue the pants off of them.
Yet, still safer than trucks and trains.
This is exactly why many didn't want this boondoggle here in the first place! Shut it down,find another way...haven't we destroyed enough nature as it is
steel pipes imported from china?
WAY TO GO 45 ANOTHER DISASTER OF YOUR MAKING
So what.
When ISN’T there a leak in this pipeline? The almost guaranteed ruining of our soil & water is why Nebraskans have fought so hard to keep Keystone out of our state.
If only someone could have seen this possibility and warned someone before it all happened.
How big a barrels y'all packin up their?
Who would’ve thunk?! fail
Poison the land. Brilliant.
And they said it would never happen. Ha.....who knew?
So let’s shut down a forth of the economy for an incident that can be cleaned up with a track hoe, two front end loaders and a couple of dump trucks in less than a few weeks.
🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
Who wasn't monitoring the flow allowing 9,000 barrels to leak?

Workers show up in a welding rig, declare themselves capable welders, and get a job. Typical capitalist policy.
If history is anything to go by, you can quadruple that number and closer to the real amount of oil spilled. Not that it matters since the E.P.A is essentially an offshoot of the oil companies now anyway.
Never should have started in the first place
Nobody should be surprised by this.
Fine the ever living shit out of them. We knew this was coming!
Lovely and they very clearly express what they are going to do and do it. They shove this up the people of N Dakota’s so they better fix it as good as the money they spent to ruin the land.
Is this a Trump pipeline. Our environment is not his concern. He is only interested in our revenue that will enrich him personally.
And so it comes to fruition.
shocker.
And of course the only people in jail are the ones that protested its being built.
This is what the natives were fighting for.
And this is exactly what the Natives said would happen.
Don’t let saboteurs or malfunctions stop the Canadian and American oil! I’m tired of being dependent on Middle East oil.
To think they said this would never happen!
Thats alot of oil
Damn it's almost like the protesters warned you about this
So what everyone feared would happen, happened? Gross, shut it down for good!
Hmmm 🤔
Huh...I kinda remember everyone saying that was going to happen!
