[quote:Anonymous Coward 26143620:MV8yMDYxNDA3XzM0NjgxMDI1XzlGN0ZEMThF] This is outrageous. A lot like Indiana. [color=blue]The explosion in a downtown area of Springfield, 90 miles west of Boston, blew out all windows in a three-block radius, leaving three more buildings irreparably damaged and prompting emergency workers to evacuate a six-story apartment building that was buckling. Police Sgt. John Delaney marveled at the destruction at the blast's epicenter, where a multistory building was leveled.

Last night, a technician was able to shut off a faulty valve and avert what probably could have been another crazy gas line explosion. An emergency responder reported a gas plume 100ft high accompanied by a huge booming sound like a freight train. Being that last night was Thanksgiving holiday here in the states, this could have gone a whole different direction. Thank goodness for that technician, he was really on the job. I think there is more to this, possibly an agenda by oil industry to create fear around natural gas.
