It is unfortunate for the families and the first responders to have to deal with these ramifications from this industry. In some incidences the first responders have sued the gas companies that have been responsible for such explosions due to the emotional distress involved. May they find the peace that they will need.

This isn't a "pipeline" accident, it's a "completion" accident. By the way, I can only assume that your computer is running on battery power. Otherwise you are depending on natural gas powered electricity, and I can only assume you walk the walk!
