The ExxonMobil Pegasus tar sands pipeline spilled around 185,000 gallons of tar sands, undisclosed toxic chemicals and contaminated water in Arkansas yesterday.
Like many tar sands pipelines, Pegasus was actually an older pipeline which had its flow reversed. This is also the case for the Seaway pipeline in Texas and possible tar sands pipelines in New England.
And this wasn't even the only spill this week! Read more about the 30,000 tar sands spill in Minnesota here: http://www.tarsandsblockade.org/tar-sands-spill-train-derailment-minnesota/
