Activists Occupy Kinder Morgan's "Monster Drill" in Canada

Portrait of Greenpeace climber Laura Yates.

Two women climbed the Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM), occupied one of the most important pieces of equipment Kinder Morgan needs to build its new tar sands pipeline. From atop what they’ve dubbed the “monster drill,” they dropped a banner reading “Protect Water, Stop Pipelines” and waved a giant flag reading “Here’s the Drill: Stop KM.”

They are calling on people across the region to stop it from fulfilling its destructive purpose: boring a path through sacred Indigenous lands on Burnaby Mountain, British Columbia.
