Pipeline Explosion

Gas pipeline explodes at Ross Barnett Reservoir in Mississippi.

In January 2015 a section of the pipeline that goes under the Barnett Reservoir near Brandon, MS, exploded. "I thought it was a tornado coming through, or something, because it got to shaking the house," said one resident. "There was just a loud explosion at first and then the house started shaking." Here are photographs of the fire caused by the explosion.
