Exxon Pipeline Breaks in Arkansas

This is just a short video of a HUGE amount of oil, spilled right into the backyards of people in Mayflower, Arkansas. It's bubbling through the streets of suburbia and cascading across Mrs. Field's garden flowers.

Can we stop using the word "spilled" when it comes to oil? Spilled implies Exxon was having a tea party and got a little sloppy with the china set and "spilled" some oil. Just a little bit. 189,000 gallons of oil just "spilled" across the backyards and streets of Mayflower, Arkansas. A spill. How about, "another s***ton of oil was carelessly allowed to rupture through a pipeline by another ass backwards corporate conglomerate and once again, they're going to get away with it?" Does that fit the description? I think so.
