Gas Pipeline Explosion Area Looks Like Battlefield
In Natchitoches Louisiana a rural area near the town was leveled by a massive underground natural gas pipeline explosion. The blast from a 32 inch line killed 17 people including eight hospitalized and left five homes, a sawmill, and ten acres of scorched land in ruins. Tennessee Gas Transmission Co officials noted the 2,000 mile system from South Texas to New England. The crater measured 15 feet by 75 feet with a 400 foot fireball, and authorities reported bodies scattered and charred beyond recognition.
