That's pretty close.
 
Big and Bright explosion in Texas, just like their stars I've been told :D

(But seriously, I hope folks are OK down there.)
 
Well, the pipeline is isolated now and burning off the product that's still in it. Liquid Nat Gas.....
 
Heard about it on local radio on my way home.
No details on how it started.
 
Crazy hope no one got hurt. @Cranky could you see it from your house? Was there a boom?
 
Don't worry. With all the regulation in effect they are safe.

It'll be awhile before knowing what happened but right now, they are saying that car ran off the road and hit a valve....I'm thinking it was a terrorist thing. If it were an accident, the guy driving must have been drunk. Anyways, it's going to be well into the night before the product completely burns off then cool everything down around it but that cooling process shouldn't take too long.

More of a fairly loud bang than a boom. I thought that a transformer blew out.
 
Hit it with a trencher or backhoe I would imagine.
 
If you can see it, it's close enough!! That's pretty freaky.

Looking at the steal shot on the news, the valve he hit does not appear to be near a main road.
