Actually it is. The copper river has a natural gas pipeline on it now. It has broken many times due to Mother Nature. The pipeline is going to follow the same path. Only a matter of time till it breaks to letting all the oil into the river then down to the skeena and so on to the ocean.

And how has it "broken many times due to Mother Nature?" 
Was it due to corrosion pitting?  Stress Cracking Corrosion?  Girth weld defect?  Long seam defect?
Pipelines don't break due to mother nature, it is due mainly to time and stress on the lines in addition through inherent defects in the line itself or more commonly in the coating surrounding the line which then exposes the line to SCC and corrosion pitting.

I am not in favour of the northern gateway by the way, but the biggest issue is by far the tanker traffic on the coast.

DO SOME RESEARCH ON IT!!!!

The natural gas line ruptures MULTIPLE times a calendar year due to land slides, avalanches and high water events. No spawning gravel equals no fish...

Here you go. Watch this movie, it will inform you.

Great video joshhowat. Anyone who fishes for steelhead or salmon and who is concerned about the impact the pipeline will have on the Skeena watershed should definitely check this out.
