Early in the evening of February 22, 2020, there were heated burns along the highway along the highway along the highway along the highway along the highway, miss. When they saw a nearby explosion.

“We came back from a fishing trip, and we actually saw the mushroom cloud. Just like an explosion, but without fire. It was just a white cloud in the air, “he said.

He doubts that it came from the nearest pipeline, which passes through the hills of Sataria. What he didn't know was that the compressed and liquefied carbon dioxide passed through the pipes instead of oil or natural gas.

The surrounding area was immediately flooded with suffocating gas, which can die by dying in a concentrated amount because it uninstalls oxygen. The explosion called his mother on the phone. Seconds later the car's engine came out; They burn, his brother and the cousin went all.

“My phone was still on. He called my name, debris, debris, beaker. And I just stopped talking. “

No one has died in a blast of the pipeline in Mississippi, but the first respondents and residents say they had to recognize more of the risks to be better prepared for possible emergencies.

The Central Bank went to Shatartia to build a possible risks to the possible risks to build in Alberta's largest energy companies.

Why CO2 Pipeline?

Carbon dioxide can be moved to the pipeline for many reasons. In the case of the Mississippi pipeline, it is for the process called the reinforced oil recovery, where Pump CO2 can help more oil in oil wells.

The consortium of the country's largest energy companies in Canada, which is called an alliance, proposes a massive carbon dioxide pipeline, which says that it will reduce emissions from the production of oil streams in Alberta.

It would attract carbon dioxide emissions from more than 20 northern northern northerns in Alberta and transport them to a pipeline, which is stored in the underground reservoir in the cold lake. Then CO2 was kept in the underground area, aiming to prevent emissions from entering the atmosphere.

The bloc first offered the project in 2022, but it has Are not yet final arrangements Federal and provincial governments about incentives and how will it be paid?

Carbon capture and storage (CCS) are considered a part of the solution to achieve purely zero emissions by all over the world ENERGY INTERNATIONAL ACTIVITYand a Main part of the programs of Oilsands To reduce emissions by the level of 2019 by 2030.

Critics, however, have been like CCS in the fighting in red herring.

From 2022 the New York Times Open column “Every dollar” is called “waste” Because it allows continuous gas and oil production “Masking Climate Change Solutions” instead of transporting cleaning energy sources instead.

Residents living where the proposed pipeline will be buried told NARISH to the last fall They had worries about possible leaks or blows how it could affect water, land and native contracts.

What happened in Mississippi

Satartia, Miss. One of the local said it was so smooth on Delta, you can run dogs for three days.

The night of the explosion, some residents were abroad that they boiled cried. Hug (Bubba) Martin, Army Veteran, who lives in Saturia, has not heard the pipeline that exploded on music and gas burners, which are preparing crabs. But then he discovered the smell of rotten eggs that fill the air.

Soon everyone struggled to stay conscious.

“You were awake, but it was not registered. Was simply disoriented. Your brain doesn't work. I mean everyone was not scattered.

Local emergency services were soon poured on 911 calls, which describe the smell of gas that pass and roads are facing cars.

CO2 is a smell and colorless but locals told the CBC that the smell came from a hydrogen sulfide or sour gas that could be mixed with CO2.

Jackeking Wearchham, Yazoo County Emergency Management Director, says the first respondents did not know what the problem was at least for the first 30 minutes. He said he was not even aware that there was a CO2 pipeline that passes through his period.

“During that time (there), it was not a lot of contact between our and the pipeline operator, which is preparing us what is being done,” he said.

Eerie scene:

Carbon dioxide is not dangerous in low doses. People exhale it every time we breathe. But in higher concentrations and cool, cloudy, CO2 does not always scatter in the atmosphere. Instead, it will sit in an unattractive cloud to the ground, it will not deport oxygen, it is more difficult or even impossible to breathe. It also breathes internal combustion engines, that is, many vehicles will not work.

It has become more difficult to rescue operations in Satarat, as the first respondents were fighting for their vehicles to run. Some had to walk into the city, wearing air masks and tanks to breathe.

Jerry's briggs, firefighter and EMS coordinator, said that Sata is like a ghost town when his team arrived. Most of the residents had fled, but the respondents still had to look for anyone else.

“Saturday evening 8. 00. Lights are enabled;

Driving on highways, Briggs and the team found that the most important cars were empty. But there were three people, his brother, his brother and his cousin, all unconscious.

At first, the briggs thought they were dead, but soon realized that they were still breathing. All firefighters were very small, so the team was uncomfortably accumulated in its gear and storage jackets above three unconscious men.

“We would say in the south that we downloaded them like a deer, you know that after the hunter's hunting,” Bigig said. “I know it seems terrible, but they would probably not survive.”

Firefighters drove them to safety, and the trio then took a Vixburg hospital near Paramedics.

“When they found us from my understanding, we foiced in their mouths, barely breathing,” Burns said. He reminded that he said that if they were found there five minutes before they were there, they would not have survived.

Then and questions

Forty-five people demanded medical care in the hospital, and more than 200 people were evacuated from the area of ​​Satan's territory. Officially, everyone was restored. But while he can not prove the link, burns believe that he lives with the effects of influence and for about three hours he thinks he has been unconscious.

“I am suffering from memory loss. You know, I find it difficult to focus. I'm not in many people.

“Wiltham” says the explosion probably took place, because some of the clay lands of the Yazu region “tended to move more than normal dirt”, and that year, strong rainwater was more volatile.

If this happened an hour or two later, this whole community would die.– Hugh (Bubba) in March

Discoveries of the explosion, the US Pipeline and the Hazardous Materials Security Administration have offered possible violations of the Federal Security Legislation and have been heard. Instead, Denbi, the pipeline operator agreed to pay a fine at that time, below only $ 3 million.

ExxonMobil, which bought drugs in 2023, said that “strengthened his infrastructure and raised his standards to prevent further incidents.”

The statement of the Central Bank said that its proposed project will be built in the stable corridor, in the case of existing rights, unlike in Mississippi, which was built into landslides. “

He also said that it will have a “multi-layered security system”, which includes real-time pressure monitoring, seismic illustration and leakage from both computer systems and human operators.

“Willingham” says the public should be aware of whether the CO2 pipeline is placed in their area, no matter where they live, so the first respondents have better information to maintain their own.

“Have you ever been taught once in your life what to do if there is a CO2 case in your area? Why don't we raise our people? ” He said.

“I'm not an opposer, I'm not a PR PRO Pipeline. I'm just public safety. “

Martin says things could be catastrophic if the explosions occur after people were already in bed.

“If this happened an hour or two later, this whole community would die.”
