racer254 Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 About 9,120 barrels were leaked on a 590,000 barrel per day pipeline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racer254 Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 A rail tanker holds about 700 barrels. The amount this pipeline can move is about 840 tankers full per day. So they lost about 13 tanker cars of oil. How many people killed? How many evacuated? Lets compare to some of the accidents by tankers. 2013 July 5: A runaway Montreal, Maine & Atlantic Railway train that had been left unattended derailed, spilling oil and catching fire inside the town of Lac-Megantic in Quebec. Forty-seven people were killed and 30 buildings burned in the town's center. About 1.6 million gallons of oil was spilled. The oil was being transported from the Bakken region of North Dakota, the heart of an oil fracking boom, to a refinery in Canada. Nov. 8: An oil train from North Dakota derailed and exploded near Aliceville, Alabama. There were no deaths, but an estimated 749,000 gallons of oil spilled from 26 tanker cars. Dec. 30: A fire engulfed tank cars loaded with oil on a Burlington Northern Santa Fe train after a collision about a mile from Casselton, North Dakota. No one was injured, but more than 2,000 residents were evacuated as emergency responders struggled with the intense fire.
