Because good things always happen when you siphon all the money out of the company to buy the executives condos in the Bahamas.

Wasn't this the new "state of the art" pipeline guaranteed not to leak?

Yes, the one that many experts warned was guaranteed TO leak. Because of low quality materials and shoddy construction.

This is only the first of many such leaks.

Literally why one of the main reasons everyone was against the pipeline in the first place.

It was guaranteed to spill due to bad construction. Plus the US was footing the bill for maintenance and repair, not the oil company. Meanwhile the oil goes from Canada to a refinery in the US, but instead of being sent into the US, it gets shipped overseas. So the oil company makes away like a bandit, while the US gets stuck with the bill, and the devastation.
