New Pipe Line Explodes

Pipelines are cheaper than rail but not safer, in this instance, TransCanada Pipelines got really lucky and no one was injured but these lines also go through heavily populated areas, what if.....



TransCanada Pipeline Explodes in West Virginia. A newly installed TransCanada natural gas pipeline exploded early Thursday in the remote Nixon Ridge area of Marshall County in West Virginia. No injuries were reported but flames and smoke from the blast could be seen as far as 20 miles away, residents told local media. Area police told CBS News the fire was "very large—if you can see it from your house, evacuate."
