Merrimack Valley gas explosions - Wikipedia
On September 13, 2018, excessive pressure in natural gas lines owned by Columbia Gas caused a series of explosions and fires occurred in as many as 40 homes, with over 80 individual fires, in the Merrimack Valley, Massachusetts towns of Lawrence, Andover, and North Andover. One person was killed and 30,000 were forced to evacuate their homes. Cause‎: ‎Over-pressurized gas mains as replacing cast-iron pipe with safer plastic lines but lacked regulator sensing lines used to detect pressure in the system. Date‎: ‎September 13, 2018 Deaths‎: ‎1Non-fatal injuries‎: ‎25+ (1 critical)

Regulator ties pipeline work to deadly Massachusetts gas explosion Reuters October 11, 2018 https://www.yahoo.com/news/regulator-ties-pipeline-deadly-massachusetts-gas-explosion-192619991--finance.html

September explosions and fires damaged 131 homes and businesses as Columbia Gas was replacing cast-iron pipe with safer plastic lines when the accident occurred.

NTSB laid out the timetable of events in a dry account of the company's activities that day.

Crews were working for Columbia Gas in Lawrence, a city northwest of Boston, to replace an aged cast-iron main with a new plastic distribution main line. The abandoned main had regulator sensing lines used to detect pressure in the system.

After that main line was disconnected, the sensing lines lost pressure and the regulators fully opened, "allowing the full flow of high-pressure gas into the distribution system supplying the neighborhood," the report said.
