I like the way they call it a "spill", like a very small "oopsie".
Cancer-causing agent detected in water after pipeline spill
Additional tests were conducted early Monday after residents began complaining of the petroleum- or diesel-like smell from their tap water. That's when the high benzene levels were found.
Benzene in the range of 10 to 15 ppb was detected from the city's water, said Paul Peronard with the EPA. Anything above 5 ppb is considered a long-term risk, he said.
Another pipeline spill along the Yellowstone River in Montana released 63,000 gal of oil in July 2011. An Exxon Mobil Corp. pipeline broke during flooding, and oil washed up along an 85-mile stretch of riverbank.
After oil spill company says new line will be safer

Bon Appetit!
Republicans on the USMB insist that pipelines are so much safer. Except the "spills" are so much bigger.
