There's a 24-inch natural gas line about 1,200 feet behind my house. I've lived here 20 years. but I've never really worried about it. A low-flying plane cruses over it twice a week looking for problems.
Even though I don't worry, it doesn't mean I'm naive about the potential for an uh-oh, but I believe I came nearer getting killed in my now-deceased F150 than I ever will from a pipeline explosion.
I recall that back in the 60s a big pipeline came out of the ground in a small community about 50 miles south of me. It was December, and it was the middle of the night. The thing didn't ignite when it came out of the ground. The gas pumped out until it found a heater or fireplace in a cluster of homes in the little valley down below. Several people died in their beds. I remember the pipeline being described as a "giant blowtorch".
