Keystone Pipeline Breach Spills Oil in North Dakota
---------------------------------------------------

In North Dakota, a breach in the Keystone pipeline Wednesday flooded a
rural wetland with crude oil from Canada's tar sands. Walsh County
Emergency Management distributed photos of the massive spill, which it
said was over a quarter-mile long and 15 feet wide. The agency said the
pipeline's operator TC Energy - formerly known as Trans Canada - had yet
to fix the leak by late Wednesday and that an unknown quantity of oil
had leaked.
