Today marks the 30th anniversary of the largest ever inland oil spill in U.S. history - and it happened because of the current Line 3 pipeline, right here in Minnesota.

Here's the story of that spill. 🧵 (1/7)
On March 3rd, 1991, a huge rupture in the Line 3 pipeline near Grand Rapids, Minnesota caused oil to shoot over 50 feet into the air. It soaked trees, saturated the surrounding wetlands, and coated icy rivers.

When all was done, 1.7 million gallons of oil had spilled. (2/7)
Oil from the pipeline made it into the nearby Prairie River, only half a mile from the Mississippi.

The only reason it didn't get to the Mississippi is it was still winter, and the river ice stopped the oil from getting too far. In May, it would've been a different story. (3/7)

(1/6) Earlier today, reports of a person throwing a “suspicious package” onto a Line 3 construction site were used to vilify water protectors. Emergency alerts called the incident a potential “explosive hazard,” but law enforcement confirmed no explosive devices were at the site.
(2/6) No evidence has been released that shows that protesters had any role in the incident. In the words of Camp Migizi, “Peaceful protests are not illegal. There are no explosives…
(3/6) “...Law enforcement induced hysteria is being used to manipulate the masses to (curb) resistance.The only immediate danger is the wellbeing of the rice, and the water.”
