The Keystone Pipeline was shut down after a "bang" was reported Tuesday morning in North Dakota, according to Bill Suess, spill investigation program manager with the North Dakota Department of Environmental Quality. "An employee on a pump station heard what was described as a mechanical bang" at 7:44 a.m., Suess told CBS News, adding that the employee immediately shut down the pipeline and notified emergency personnel. South Bow, a liquid pipelines business that has managed the pipeline since 2024, said control center leak detection systems detected a pressure drop in the system. The company said a shutdown and response was initiated at approximately 7:42 a.m. The affected segment has been isolated, South Bow said, and operations and containment resources have been mobilized to the site. The rupture occurred at milepost 171, near Fort Ransom, South Bow said.
