Oklahoma gas pipeline explodes, shooting flames 500 feet into the air
The fire department said the glow from the pipeline explosion "can be seen for miles"
A gas pipeline exploded in an Oklahoma town near the Texas border overnight, creating a glow that could "be seen for miles," local fire officials said Wednesday.
Photos and videos of the explosion posted on social media show flames shooting high into the air and illuminating an otherwise dark night sky with a red haze. The Elmwood Fire Department has not publicly provided details about the status of the pipeline, only saying overnight on Facebook that its crews responded to a "pipeline blow out." CBS News has reached out to the fire department for more information.
Our 1-meter-diameter pipeline comes from the forest on the other side of town, snaking a partially-documented path past back-yards and public swimming pools before crossing a river on a train bridge and delivering its AVIATION GASOLINE TO THE AIRPORT.
Apparently we're safe because shut up.
I’ve had mornings like that.
Local news reports former EPA director Scott “tactical pants” Pruitt was refusing to leave the area or to quit masturbating furiously.
Who is going around the south setting shit on fire?
The ghost of General Sherman.
Not sure but if they're taking suggestions, ...
That infrastructure is built so poorly it doesn't even need a saboteur to blow up.
Maybe the 5th thing I've seen (the chicken coop must have been a horrific smell), so I have to assume somebody is doing a little freedom fighting in the lone star state.
If nobody was hurt then that's the coolest thing to happen in Oklahoma since...actually I don't know of anything that's ever happened in Oklahoma but you get the idea.
