Enbridge Energy's Live Five oil pipeline was designed to last 50 years.
It was built in 1953. Each day, this aging and damaged pipeline carries
23 million gallons of oil and natural gas across the Straits of
Mackinac. This waterway is known for its powerful and unpredictable
currents. An oil spill there could destroy more than 700 miles of
coastline. The Great Lakes contain 20% of the world's fresh water. And
these waters are at risk. LINE 5: PART ONE explores the grave dangers of
keeping this pipeline running. Scientists, experts, and Michigan
residents give passionate accounts of the terrors of oil contamination
in the water. This half-hour first installment is coming soon. Visit
