Official: Break in Arkansas ExxonMobil Oil Pipeline Far Larger Than Believed 
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------


 
The break in an oil pipeline that flooded part of Mayflower, Arkansas,
with tar sands crude is far larger than originally believed. Arkansas
Attorney General Dustin Mc Daniel said the Exxon Mobil pipeline had
suffered a nearly two-foot-long and two-inch-wide break when it leaked
thousands of barrels of oil into a residential area. Mc Daniel has
subpoenaed records on the 65-year-old Pegasus pipeline as part of an
investigation into the spill.
