The Dilbit Disaster: Inside The Biggest Oil Spill You've Never Heard Of, Part 1
An acrid stench had already enveloped John LaForge's five-bedroom house when he opened the door just after 6 a.m. on July 26, 2010. By the time the building contractor hurried the few feet to the refuge of his Dodge Ram pickup, his throat was stinging and his head was throbbing.
LaForge was at work excavating a basement when his wife called a couple of hours later. The odor had become even more sickening, Lorraine told him. And a fire truck was parked in front of their house, where Talmadge Creek rippled toward the Kalamazoo River.
LaForge headed home. By the time he arrived, the stink was so intense that he could barely keep his breakfast down.
Something else was wrong, too.
Water from the usually tame creek had inundated his yard, the way it often did after heavy rains. But this time a black goo coated swaths of his golf course-green grass. It stopped just 10 feet from the metal cap that marked his drinking water well. Walking on the tarry mess was like stepping on chewing gum.

This article details the comedy of errors surrounding the Alberta tar sands pipeline rupture which released more than a million gallons of dilbit goo into the Kalamazoo River and area. The cleanup is still ongoing because in spite of their "world class" operation, they have no idea of what they are doing. These bastards also want to threaten more areas by building the Keystone and Northern Gateway pipelines for their toxic crud.
