Exxon Mobil: No Repair Plans in Place for Ruptured Montana Pipeline 
--------------------------------------------------------------------



The oil giant Exxon Mobil has acknowledged it is yet to develop a repair
plan for a ruptured oil pipeline beneath Montana’s Yellowstone River.
The Exxon Mobil Pipeline Company says as much as 42,000-gallons of crude
oil has leaked into the water and onto surrounding lands. On Tuesday,
“Democracy Now! spoke to area resident and farmer Alexis Bonogofsky
about the spill.”:

Alexis Bonogofsky: “The place where there’s oil on our property is a
really diverse area with lots of diverse plant species and wildlife.
Usually when you go down there in the evening, that’s all you can hear
— frogs, toads, a lot of insects, crickets, and birds. And right
now you walk there at dusk and don’t hear anything.”
