The day oil rained down on Burnaby

"Ten years ago this week, an excavator ruptured a pipeline and sent crude oil shooting into the sky. In this report, we look back on that day and its aftermath" http://www.burnabynow.com/news/the-day-oil-rained-down-on-burnaby-1.21287293  JULY 21, 2017

A construction crew contracted by the City of Burnaby was working on Inlet Drive about 100 metres from Hatch’s home. The rupture was to a pipeline supplying crude oil from the Kinder Morgan tank farm on Burnaby Mountain to the Westridge dock on Burrard Inlet. The oil sprayed for about 25 minutes, said the report, before the flow was halted.
