This essay is a comparative analysis of the recent issues from Colonial Pipeline regarding their gas pipeline spill in 2020, and Plains Midstream Canada's Rainbow Pipeline spill of 2011.

Following that, it backgrounds each spill case study in question and ends with a comparative analysis of both cases and how the studied literature could be applied to the situation.
This paper was conducted as a team effort with four other classmates. Essentially, we were to build a crisis communications plan for an industry of our choice, which was the NBA. Our plan would need to cover things from confidentiality statements, rehearsal dates, goals/objectives, key publics, contacts, key messaging, crisis communication team designation, media spokesperson(s), equipment, pre-gathered information among many other things.
This assignment helped us to identify critical pieces of a plan for crisis communications when a crisis is triggered for an organization. This document would serve as a guideline of existing practices and resources required to deal with a situation.
