Mision X IV. - Pipeline
Year: 2007
In the summer of 1878 a secret meeting takes place in Titusville, Pennsylvania. Absolute secrecy is called for because what is to be discussed that evening will change the future of the whole oil industry.
The renowned crude oil producer Byron Benson has organised this secret meeting. He lost his wife a few weeks before. He knows from his childhood what it is like to be poor and he never wants to experience it again. He promised his wife on her deathbed that their children Robert, William and Bessie will never go hungry.
Although almost 130 years old, Benson’s pipeline still exists today. It still snakes unheeded through the Allegheny Mountains but it stopped transporting oil years ago. Inside are fibre optic cables that transport news and data streams in milliseconds – protected by a pipeline that came about from an oil race to the see.
