Gas Pipline near my hometown blew up today when a crew working for an electric company hit the pipeline while putting in poles. Not alot of attention to details apparently.

Just saw it on Fox News.....finally got the pipeline shut off and fire is out. Injuries but not know if any loss of life.

It was just under 4 miles from the farm. The concussion was felt 25 miles away. What a mess. No names yet. News says there are 3 confirmed fatalities and 10 people still missing. The initial flames must have went 800 feet up. A heck of a cloud billowed.

My cows probably jumped all through the pastures.

A cheap metal detector could have prevented it all.

Just accidents..sometimes just mother nature.. Only difference in water main and gas line breaking is that one is combustible.
