On This Date in Minnesota History: January 23

January 23, 1963 - Three million gallons of soybean oil flooded streets in Mankato, Minn., when a storage tank ruptured. Eventually the oil ended up in the Mississippi River. In the spring, more than 10,000 ducks were found dead in the wetlands along the river.
