One former Kansas legislator said oil had sprayed around 80 yards onto his field next to the site. More than 400 personnel have responded to the site.ĭrone footage immediately following the spill showed the 14,000 barrels - or 588,000 gallons - of oil turned Mill Creek black. So far, TC Energy says it has isolated the spill to keep it from flowing downstream and recovered 7,233 barrels of oil - or 13,877 barrels of oil and water. “Crews are working around the clock on the incident and need to be distraction-free.”Įarlier this month, the Keystone pipeline spilled near Washington, Kansas, just south of the Nebraska border. “Clearing the airspace is critical for the safety and security of the pilots conducting ongoing monitoring as well as the working crew on the ground,” TC Energy said in a statement. Even lawmakers were not allowed there for a briefing. But drone footage of the spill - the largest in the pipeline’s history - was among the only means of seeing the damage as the site is closed to press. The Canadian company said in a statement that it did so for safety reasons. In addition to not knowing the source of the disaster, none of the characters attempt to solve the crisis, with Addison instead simply trying to stay alive and profit from the Spill Zone.TC Energy has established a no-fly zone over the Kansas site where its Keystone pipeline spilled 14,000 barrels of oil following drone footage of the disaster. While the first volume does not provide an explanation for the Spill, Addison speculates about potential causes: “A nanotech accident colliding with the local nuclear power plant? An alien visitation? Something spilling from another world?” (Westerfeld 21). Spill Zone consistently portrays the altered Poughkeepsie environment and its mutated residents as frightening and hostile, though Addison manages to capture the area’s surreal beauty in her photographs. As they argue, Lexa’s doll Vespertine comes to life in front of them, ending the volume on with a cliffhanger. Unsettled, she returns home with the dust, where her friend Wiley confronts her about her illegal activities.
The dust immediately starts to affect her senses, and she discovers that the frightening denizens of the Spill now fear her. In the hospital, Addison encounters floating “meat sacks,” or humans killed by the Spill, in Spill Zone.Īddison travels back to the Spill Zone and ventures into the hospital to find her target: strange dust from a machine from the radiology room.
