“Explosion Reported at South Texas Oil Pipeline”
Friday, February 15, 2008

McCOOK, Texas —

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “The fire marshal was investigating the cause of the explosion, Pena said.

Black smoke rushed across a cloudy sky in northern Hidalgo County on Friday, driven by winds gusting to 40 mph. Orange flames were visible just over a rise. Flames from the rupture reached 400 feet to 500 feet, Pena said.

Firefighters shut flow of crude oil distillate about 10 miles down the pipeline and were waiting for the rest of the crude to burn off.”
