I hope no one had any friends or family on this job. Not sure what happened but this is a reminder of how it can go wrong in the blink of an eye.

Like the oil spill, good PR for the oil companies. I wonder if the home owner was hunting squirrel in his back yard and up comes the bubblin' crude?

I guess I could continue with something else, but, I'll refrain....LOL!!

After reading the reports and seeing where the leak occurred, will bet a 6 pack of Diet Coke the pipeline was un-reported damage by third party during construction of this development. That is the number one cause of pipeline leaks. Corrosion is second.

whiny bums those home owners are. Oil is over $80 a barrel and they got a bunch dumped in their yards for free!
