an otherwise normal summer night in montana, then again. another oil pipeline. this one owned by exxon mobil. it bursts out of nowhere and dumps oil into the previously pristine yellowstone river. even though another oil company shut down their pipeline in the area because of that warning, exxon decided to keep theirs running. this is the result. july, 2011. now, today, mayflower, arkansas, swrus outside arkansas. it s friday afternoon and by now, you know the drill. it starts with boom. so, that is a pipeline that has busted and has flooded the neighborhood and is going all the way to the drain at the end of the street. luckily, our house is here, but
