Last Wednesday protesters disrupted Shell's work as they moved one of their hideous drilling rigs into a shallow part of the SAC estuary, close to the Rossport solidarity camp. Protesters used kayaks to get to the rig which was flanked by fourteen boats of I-RMS security and Gardai.

The above photograph is the source of the explosion that left a path of destruction in San Bruno. A 30-inch PG&E gas line ruptured Thursday night, killing at least four people and injuring dozens more. Four people were critically injured by the flames and face months of recover at a San Francisco burn unit.
A giant crater marks the spot where it all began. Nearby, a huge pipe sits in the middle of the street as cadaver dogs search the rubble for more possible victims.
Fire crews tried to douse the remnants of an enormous blaze Friday after a gas line ruptured and an explosion ripped through in a neighborhood near San Francisco.
At least four people have died and 52 have been injured after a gas pipeline exploded and set off a fire that engulfed a neighbourhood near San Francisco.

More than 100 residents were forced to flee and more than 170 homes damaged or destroyed as the blast ripped through the town of San Bruno and triggered a giant fire.
