Texas town evacuated after Chevron pipeline explosion
Source: Reuters
A pipeline operated by Chevron Corp exploded in rural Milford, Texas, on Thursday and while no injuries were reported residents of the town of 700 were asked to evacuate, said company and emergency officials.
Chevron did not identify the line, but it is the majority owner of a 2,295-mile common-carrier pipeline system that transports natural gas liquids from New Mexico and Texas to Mont Belvieu, Texas for processing.
Atlas Pipeline Partners has a 20 percent interest in the West Texas LPG Pipeline Limited Partnership, which is 80 percent owned by Chevron.
Tom Hemrick, director of Hill County Emergency Management, told KTVT-TV in Dallas that a construction crew accidentally drilled into a 10-inch liquified petroleum gas (LPG) line. All workers on the construction crew were accounted for.

Does news of pipeline accidents reach POs inner bubble? Or are the news reports trashed before they ever get to him? Why can't we make our world safer instead of more dangerous, more polluted?
The Corporation is killing our world and the people and animals who live in it! 
And, since it's Texas, additional guns would be good. Perhaps if all the residents of Milford were armed this wouldn't have happened.
I just hope that as they evacuated the town they strip-searched everyone and gave the women vaginal exams. And gave them free Bibles.
Yeah, I've lived here in Texas too long.
