I live about 500 feet from two large pipelines (one gasoline and one jet fuel). One of the pipes sprung a leak and caused a huge fire back in 1999 - luckily it was 50 miles away from me! (Was actually Y2K related with a bug in some new automated equipment they put in. Along with two other events that all had to happen for it to rupture. “Cascading Failure”.) And at least I’m uphill from it (just barely, but enough - hopefully!)

Yikes! Gasoline and jet fuel would make me a little edgy.

Considering how many thousands of miles of petroleum and nat. gas lines criss-cross this country serious breaches must be rare or we would all know of several incidents off the top of our heads.
