The 2011 Nairobi pipeline fire was caused by an explosion secondary to a fuel spill in the Kenyan capital Nairobi on 12 September 2011.[1] Approximately 100 people were killed in the fire and at least 116 others were hospitalized with varying degrees of burns.[2] The incident was not the first such pipeline accident in Kenya,[1] with the Molo fire of 2009 resulting in at least 133 fatalities and hundreds more injured.

2011 Nairobi pipeline fire - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

1998: At Jesse in the Niger Delta in Nigeria, a petroleum pipeline exploded killing about 1200 villagers, some of whom were scavenging gasoline. The worst of several similar incidents in this country.[8] (October 17, 1998)
2000: Another pipeline explosion near the town of Jesse killed about 250 villagers.[8] (July 10, 2000)
2000: At least 100 villagers died when a ruptured pipeline exploded in Warri.[8] (July 16, 2000)
2000: A leaking pipeline caught fire near the fishing village of Ebute near Lagos, killing at least 60 people.[8] (November 30, 2000)
2003: A pipeline punctured by thieves exploded and killed 125 villagers near Umuahia, Abia State.[8] (June 19, 2003)
2004: A pipeline punctured by thieves exploded and killed dozens of people in Lagos State.[8] (September 17, 2004)
2006: An oil pipeline punctured by thieves exploded and killed 150 people at the Atlas Creek Island in Lagos State.[9] (May 12, 2006)
2006: A vandalised oil pipeline exploded in Lagos. Up to 500 people may have been killed.[10] (December 26, 2006)

List of pipeline accidents - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

989 The Ufa train disaster: Sparks from two passing trains caused gas leaking from an LPG pipeline near Ufa, Russia to explode. Workers with the pipeline noticed pressure dropping in the line, but they increased pressure instead of searching for a leak. Trees up to 4 kilometers away were felled by the blast, and 2 locomotives and 38 passenger cars on the trains were derailed. Up to 645 people were reported killed on June 4, 1989.[11]

And if you want to make the argument of poor keep up of Pipelines, I will privately send you a link from a Frontline interview my friend's dad did on the poor conditions BP keeps its pipes in Alaska........Where he is an engineer.

I think the Pipeline sounds like a great idea.......In theory.


And did the oil spill into a body of water?

About 3:28 p.m., Pacific daylight time, on June 10, 1999, a 16-inch-diameter steel pipeline
owned by Olympic Pipe Line Company ruptured and released about 237,000 gallons of gasoline into a
creek that flowed through Whatcom Falls Park in Bellingham, Washington. About 1 1/2 hours after the
rupture, the gasoline ignited and burned approximately 1 1/2 miles along the creek. Two 10-year-old boys
and an 18-year-old young man died as a result of the accident. Eight additional injuries were documented.
A single-family residence and the city of Bellinghamís water treatment plant were severely damaged. As
of January 2002, Olympic estimated that total property damages were at least $45 millio

You are putting up pipeline explosions in Africa? Read what you put up. In almost every case the pipeline was ruptured by thieves.

[Freemason9]

Well you're about to become a new victim

Welcome to the party.

The Keystone Pipeline is Phase III. There are already two other Keystone pipelines. Canada has been your number one supplier for ages.

Keystone III will not alter your energy costs. Just like Keystone I and Keystone II had no bearing at the gas pump.

You really should get up to speed or you'll get hammered on this board for being so uninformed.

Everything you just said is a lie. The completion of the Keystone pipeline will absolutely INCREASE domestic gasoline prices--particularly in the Midwestern U.S.

Prove that prices will increase.

And seriously are you stupid? There are already two finished Keystone pipelines from Canada to the US

That's the point, dumbass. The completed Keystone pipeline process is intended to allow the oil to flow to the Gulf. The oil that reaches the Gulf will be exported--HENCE, no longer on the domestic oil market. The existing pipelines stop in the interior U.S. and is sold on those markets.

Get it yet? I don't know how else to say this.

Now for all the existing pipelines how many accidents are there per year?

The pipelines are being ruptured because the oil companies fucked those people over. These people went to a civil war in one nation over it.

We already export fuel world wide as well to the US.

Why in hell would we stop selling to our largest trading partner?

SO F...kING what the difference???
Well idiot which would if you lived on the west coast prefer...
ANOTHER EXXON Valdez spilling millions of barrels or a simple 700 barrels per mile spill?

WHICH is a bigger risk and which has more DAMAGE capabilities???

1 million barrel tanker on the ocean traveling one mile or one mile of pipeline carrying 700 barrels???

IS THAT TOO complicated???

Simply tell me which is the bigger number??? WOW!!!

 

[Quantum Windbag]

This happened in Canada, where there are pipelines, just like in the USA, not all fuel is sent down a pipe.

This happened because there are not enough pipelines. More oil goes by rail every year because environmentalists think pipelines are dangerous.

Excuse me, genius, I am talking about transporting crude oil, not gasoline. You are comparing fires caused by gasoline spills in populated areas to oil spills in rural areas. Want to try again?

Pipelines are safer than rail.

[Quantum Windbag]

wow this was a giant fail by OP. This train crashing does no mean pipes are superior in anyway.
Whats your solution for tankers that crash or people who steal oil from pipes and just dump out the left overs on the ground in order to make money? What about the couple drops you let fall out onto the ground when you pump your gas?

The op is evidence of what happens when you are lazy. dont let this happen to you folks...

Pipelines have less oil spilled per mile than trains.
Pipelines have fewer accidents than trains.
Pipelines have smaller spill than trains.

You are right, there is no reason to say pipelines are better than trains.

The bitumen (tar sand crude) will be sent to Gulf Coast refineries where it will be refined and the excess will be exported at market prices, until our consumption goes back up and they can afford to sell it here. It's already happening and the southern leg of the pipeline has already been approved. They just want to increase the capacity.
