Oil Spill In Michigan

This is footage from the Enbridge Energy Pipeline oil rupture near Marshall, Michigan, just 10 miles from where I live. The spill is flowing into the Kalamazoo River which flows through West Michigan and out to Lake Michigan. Last year, I walked all the way around Lake Michigan, a journey of over a 1,000 miles. Seeing this oil on its way to the lake horrifies me. Read more about my journey around Lake Michigan at: LakeTrek.Blogspot.com

@psychotwiztette

Yes, you may download it.

most of those waterways flow INTO the river (thankfully), but the flow of the river is toward Lake Michigan, so that is threatened.

3 major oil spills in our water ways. I think someone is trying to send us a message.

Business/government can't even handle oil properly and they want to build nuclear power plants. Imagine that.

@magprob they seem to be poping up all over the place. Even China

EPA now estimates 1,000,000+ Barrels. According to the Endbrige website their pipeline 6B moves 190,000 barrels per day. Now even saying if 100% of the oil moving through it was spillt from the rupture point (probably not even 100%) it would take at last 4 days for a response to shut the line down. THAT'S 4 FUCKING DAYS OF PRESSURE ALARMS! AND THAT'S "IF" THE DAMN LEAK WAS AT 100% FLOW! WAKE THE FUCK UP PEOPLE!

Listen folks in all honesty move out of that area and surrounding. You and your family are in danger and guess what the oil corps and government don't care. If i was in your postion i would leave don't risk your health sell your property even at a lose its not worth it. After BP you figured these fools would inspect and re-evaluate all their equiptment and safety protocols- guess what they didn't or they didnt want to spend the money. They don't care- why is the gov not clamping down????

Sounds like the focus is on Enbridge now. A great Canadian Oil and Gas Company. Forget about BP and what Obama's doing about it. Let's try to bankrupt and buy out another great Canadian Company. This smells rotten. This is SABOTAGE in capital letters. They haven't done enough? The leak just happened, give them a chance! All eyes on Canada now. Let see how much media coverage this gets!

Enbridge dumps 14,000 barrels of oil into our streams and river every year. I have a video on this subject for those who care.
