Farmers, ranchers and landowners in the path of proposed dangerous CO2 pipelines across the Midwest today launched a new radio ad, which aims to increase awareness about carbon pipeline safety by using an actual 911 recording from the 2020 carbon pipeline explosion in Satartia, Mississippi.
The Satartia pipeline explosion event released a massive toxic CO2 plume further than a mile into the surrounding area, forcing hundreds to evacuate and sending 50 people to the hospital with symptoms ranging from dizziness to seizures; some victims report continuing health impacts to this day.
The ad includes an actual 911 recording from a victim who is very concerned and confused about what is happening after her car has stalled – a direct result of the high CO2 concentration making the combustion engine nonfunctional – and her friend is having what she believes is a seizure:

"Since the first correspondence from [CO2 pipeline co.] Navigator, I feel that my family and family farm of almost a century, is being used as collateral damage. The pipeline company and their investors are using this unproven and hazardous idea as a tax scam and will try to take our land for their own private gain. The safety questions go unanswered by the pipelines’ representatives, but they continue to state their pipelines are going to be “different” than the one that exploded in Satartia. The farmer and landowner takes all the risk – including the risk of explosion and death of all living beings in the path of the plume," said Shelli Meyer, Nebraska Easement Action Team member and landowner in Dixon County, Nebraska.
In addition to airing in Nebraska, the Satartia radio ad will also play across 3 of the other impacted states along proposed carbon pipeline routes, thanks to donations from landowners in those states who are members of the South Dakota Easement Team, North Dakota Easement Team, and Iowa Easement Team.
