Cleanup Of Montana Oil Spill Complicated By Flooding

In Montana, an oil spill has fouled the Yellowstone River near Billings. An ExxonMobil pipeline buried under the riverbed ruptured on Friday, spilling an estimated 42,000 gallons of crude oil before the pipeline was shut off. Now, crews are trying to figure out how to clean up the spill, which is even more complicated because flooding has carried the oil beyond the river's banks.  : NPR
