Explosion destroys pipeline station in Alaska killing workers
An explosion at pumping station No. 8 on the Alaska pipeline near Fairbanks killed one worker and injured six others. The blast halted the nine billion dollar, 799 mile system after a pressure drop prompted pump shutdowns. The line remained intact but heavy oil spilled and a large fire burned the station while rescuers evacuated five workers and treated others at nearby hospitals.
