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.
