Ohhhhh craaaaaaaaap.
According to this, TransCanada shut down the Keystone Pipeline in order to investigate an oil leak.
TransCanada Corp. (TRP) said Thursday it is investigating an oil leak of about 5,000 barrels, or 210,000 gallons, along its Keystone pipeline in South Dakota.
The company said crews responded to the leak in Amherst, S.D., Thursday morning after a drop in pressure was detected in its operating system. TransCanada crews shut down its Keystone pipeline at about 6 a.m. Central Standard Time.
The section of pipe, located about 35 miles south of the Ludden pump station in Marshall County, S.D., was isolated within 15 minutes and emergency response procedures were activated, the company said.
The reactions are predictable.
200,000 gallons of oil have leaked from the Keystone pipeline in South Dakota.
That's why so many people were protesting it! Thanks Trump!

Keystone Pipeline spills 210,000 gallons of oil in South Dakota. Democrats and President Obama warned Republicans and Donald Trump of the pipelines danger to mid-west water supply. Pipeline won't make US energy-independent. It's export for profit. Remember come November #resist

The Keystone Pipeline spill is an environmental tragedy. But don't worry, I am sending two dozen rolls of paper towels to South Dakota immediately! #ProblemSolved #YoureWelcome (h/t @maggicarter) pic.twitter.com/cBSjRjdOPs

Wow the Dakota xl pipeline just leaked 210,000 gallons of oil in South Dakota. So much for being “technologically advanced and there being a minuscule chance of leaks happening” 🤔

I live in South Dakota. We have been afraid of this exact thing for a very long time now. Maybe people should pay attention and realize the protests were extremely justified.
