Crude oil pipeline bursts near Burnaby, BC (oilspill.mov by Shawn Soucy)

Shawn Soucy for Spirit Media has provided NowPublic some amazing video of the oil spill. It will be up shortly.


A pipeline running under a highway in Burnaby, B.C. ruptured after a reported roadwork accident, spilling huge amounts of oil.

The oil gushed for a reported 25 minutes before crews were able to staunch the flow.

Officials cancelled an initial evacuation order now that the leak has been contained. However, and there are fears that a major environmental problem may be developing.

Thank you for the compliment.  Too bad it was footage of a disaster which could have been avoided.
