quote [ A pipeline in the western Canadian province of Saskatchewan has leaked 200,000 liters (52,834 gallons) of oil in an aboriginal community, the provincial government said on Monday. ]

Impressive thumb, but the real thing is not so dramatic. Still bad, though.
Any idea what the thumb is actually from? |

From what I can gather, it's from an Alaskan oil spill in 2001, caused by a bullet puncturing the pipeline.
The image itself gets recycled for just about every pipeline spill, unfortunately, making it hard to identify. |

That sounds right. I just did a search and grabbed the image.

It's pretty dramatic. Just running it through the GIS brings up "Keystone XL pipeline," which I guess shows associations from users and websites, not actual identification.
I had to run it through Tineye.com and find the oldest site that didn't list it as part of a picdump to get a link to the original story. |

Oh, the fools! If only they'd built it with 6,001 hulls! When will they learn?

If only they'd not built it at all.

200 000 liters = 1257 barrels = .08 olympic-sized swimming pool. See, not so bad when olympisized.
