No deaths, or even significant injuries. Remember, you are dealing with a city where almost everyone works in a potentially dangerous blue collar environment, and they all have taken neverending training on how not to die at work...

Neither of them are good, but at least I can't recall anywhere that has been evacuated due to oil sands extraction yet.

Conventional drilling has declined relative to 20 years ago but don't believe that tar sands and other difficult methods are the only way we are getting oil these days. Plenty of good old drilling still happening.
