Houston Gas Blast Forces Probe as 10 Injured
Federal officials from the Office of Pipeline Safety and the NTSB arrived in Houston to determine the cause of a natural gas pipeline explosion that leveled 15 homes and damaged 11 others. The blast near the Aldine School injured 10, with two severely burned, as flames reached 800 degrees and a 14 inch line under heavy pressure sent debris over eight minutes. Authorities note many lines exist and regulation is limited to property crossings, not right of way.
