Pipeline Things

The Failure Files: Chaos on the Kalamazoo


Listen Later

Welcome back to the second episode of this special season of Pipeline Things: The Failure Files, where we dive into notable pipeline incidents throughout history and break down the NTSB failure reports that accompany them.

This story brings us to Marshall, Michigan in July 2010, where a routine shutdown of a 30-inch pipeline system transformed into an 843,000-gallon oil leak into the Kalamazoo River. Rhett and Chris examine the main causes of this environmental disaster, prevention strategies, and how the findings from this report have affected recent gas pipeline regulations.

 Highlights:

  • Why didn’t the initial signs of a leak raise any red flags?
  • How did confirmation bias play a role in the leak? How can you be conscious of your own bias when making decisions?
  • What procedures do we have in place today to prevent similar leaks?
  • How did the findings and recommendations from this NTSB report affect modern-day gas pipeline regulations?
