RE: Note to gogetter:Misplaced Values Don't get too carried away uchuck, I was merely correcting your metrics. Although the Wisconsin leak was not big on the global scale of things, pipelines leaks, only on rare occasions, can be lethal.
In June, 1999, a gasoline pipeline leak caught fire and exploded at Whatcom Falls Park in the city of Bellingham, Washington. Two 10-year-old boys burned to death. An 18-year old man was killed after fumes overcame him, he fell in Whatcom Creek and drowned. The ruptured gasoline line spewed 277,000 gallons of gas into the creek bed.
Enbridge is a responsible pipeline company and I am confident that they doing the best they can.
