Gas line explosion in southern West Virginia

This was a 20 inch line, they are building a 36 inch line about 300 yards from my house.

high pressure line. To top that off it is running beneath a 3/4 million volt electric transmission line, a good source of ignition too wouldn't you say. The line is intended to transport gas from the Utica shale wells in eastern Ohio.
