That’s weird, those things usually don’t just explode or catch on fire.

I saw a pipeline burst once ... it was already leaking. What you get is “slimed” even if you are at some distance ... oil, more like fluid tar, all I got was a “dotted shirt” .... But no fire, no explosion. This sounds like someone had a match in their pocket.

It started to begin around the 30th of October. That is when gas prices started to go up around Dacula, GA.

Not just a spontanious explosion , I’m sure. Pipelines don’t just splode

Perhaps they were doing some welding on the P/L. and sprung a leak.

The price of gaswill be $4 by Christmas.

Welding accident or sabotage.

That is a real fireball.

The newsman was quite descriptive.

[BenLurkin]

Didn’t Bahrain already blame this explosion on Iran?

Oil? Looks like HP natural gas (NG).

When a HP NG line fails (corrosion) it does look like that. There are material issues around the gulf states because of salty sands. If the line is not properly maintained (corrosion protection), they will fail.
