Texas gas pipeline fire causes thousands of homes to lose power

A natural gas liquids pipeline caught fire in La Porte, Texas, knocking out power to thousands of homes and businesses and prompting nearby evacuations.

The fire occurred at a valve station on a pipeline used to carry NGLs, according to its owner, Energy Transfer.

The company also said it was aware of reports that an unknown passenger car entered its right-of-way and struck the valve location.

  1. They should ask some Norwegians to put it out, since they can't themselves. The Norwegians knows how to.

  2. The pipe is full of liquified natural gas. They have ends shut off but several miles of pipe full of gas must boil off and vent.

  3. it should have secondary gate valve in case of emergency like this…feasibilty study…theory…planning and designs…executions…osha and iso standard…now what????

  4. 😢😮just watch the price 9f gas go up and easy solution turn off pipe line so can be repaired but nahhhh that will cause them to loss money if pipeline switched off
