Explosion at Alaska pump station halts pipeline flow
An explosion at Pump Station No. 8 in Alaska killed one worker and injured six as a fire destroyed the pump house. Oil flow will resume only after engineers locate the cause, with suspected valve malfunction cited. The 800 mile pipeline had just faced a prior shutdown for a cracked pipe. Authorities said the building suffered severe damage but the main line remained intact.
