What Happens if a Pipeline is Damaged? If a pipeline is damaged, natural gas could escape causing fires, explosions or asphyxiation.
The front page of the Wall Street Journal ran a story on August 1, 2001 entitled "Pipeline Explosions Have Industry, Energy Regulators Under Fire" which states that "the U.S. agency that inspects pipelines lacks trained manpower, reliable data on accidents and the will to crack down on unsafe practices before deadly blasts occur. The pipeline industry has resisted calls from the National Transportation Safety Board and others for mandatory periodic inspections of pipelines and national employee-training standards." In the past 15 years, 3184 natural gas pipeline incidents have killed 328 people and caused $488 million in damage.

Over 2.1 million miles of pipelines run across our country, many of them running under our cities, towns, neighborhoods and even our playgrounds.
In the last 10 years there were 2241 major pipeline accidents resulting 226 deaths, $700 million in property damage and damage to the environment.
In 2000 alone there were six pipeline accidents. The accidents occured in Knoxville, Tennessee, Bellingham, Washington, in which three young men were tragically killed, Winchester, Kentucky, Greenville, Texas, Chalk Point, Maryland and Carlsbad, New Mexico, in which 12 people died. Pipeline explosions can happen at any time anywhere in the country.
Will more pipelines explode in the future? Maybe. Our current pipeline system is already old and is aging with every year that passes. 24 percent of gas pipelines are now more than 50 years old. In the case of the Carlsbad pipeline, the section of pipeline that exploded killing 12 people was almost 50 years old and suffered from substantial internal corrosion. The National Transportation Safety Board found that it had never been properly inspected.
