A
Ruptured Pipe Spilled Oil Upstream of the Amazon River
This
photo released by Petroecuador Tuesday, June 4, 2013 shows an aerial
view of an oil spill in Ecuador's Coca River caused when a landslide
damaged a main pipeline of Ecuador's state oil company, near the
volcano El Reventador, in Ecuador's Amazonian region, Friday, June 1,
2013. The Friday landslide damaged the trans-Ecuador pipeline,
causing the spill of some 420,000 gallons (1.6 million liters) of
crude oil. Some entered the Coca river, a tributary of the Amazon
that also flows through Peru and Brazil.
