Every day in the New Normal, it is either a mass shooting or an explosion in some pipeline or crude-carrying train. Moments ago, a pipeline in Texas exploded in a massive fireball and has prompted the evacuation of the nearby town of Milford.

From Breaking911:

Smoke and flames are visible for miles. There is a fear that an additional pipe may explode. Nearby schools have all been evacuated as well. NUmerous rescue teams responding; unknown if there are any injuries at this time.

UPDATE 11:30AM EST: According to county officials, a 10-inch pipeline east of U.S. Highway 77 and Farm-to-Market Road 308 was being worked on when it exploded.

UPDATE 11:31AM EST: NBC reports that there are no injuries. - See more at: http://www.breaking911.com/breaking-pipeline-explosion-near-city-of-milf...

Yep.

[mad_as_he$$]

Someone forgot to call 611.

Is this a natural gas pipeline from the gas field to the processing plant, or a transmission pipeline from the distribution center to the home customers?

The PG&E pipeline explosion a few years ago in San Bruno was not a Keystone type of pipeline.

Interesting... less than 30 miles from West, TX.

Couldn't just be coincidence now, could it? / s

"Couldn't just be coincidence now, could it?"

Once is an accident;
Twice is coincidence;
Three times is enemy action.

Cool, time to call Boots and Koots.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Or, if Red Adair is busy, call Rojo Rodriguez down in Mexico...

[Rodamala]

Massive? OH PUHLEAZE!

Massive, to me, is what happened in Edison, NJ... I could see the fireball clearly from 50 miles away in Hunterdon County.

[editor-surveyor]

Those didn’t look like Natural Gas flames.

Red died years ago, his two son-in-laws Boots and Koots took over the business.

I know. I lived in Edison at the time. Also I was and still am a career fire fighter in Edison TWP. I was fairly new on the job then. They recalled all of us who were off duty. I still remember it to this day. The radiant heat was incredible, burned 8 large apartment buildings to the ground. Ironically we have had numerous fires in that complex over the years resulting in the loss of several more of those buildings either partially or fully.

It’s a pipeline, not a well.

Turn a couple of valves and let it burn itself out.

Hey, B&K almost went BK with BOP valves, they need the work.

[LibLieSlayer]

Terrorism without a doubt... I will wait and see but I feel it in my bones.

[XRdsRev]

I used to drive by that place in Edison all the time.
