The Failure Files: San Bruno, Part 1


Listen Later

On today’s episode of this special season of Pipeline Things: The Failure Files, Rhett and Chris explore one of the most influential tragedies in pipeline history. With a 600-foot crater created, 108 affected homes, 8 deaths, and 58 injuries, it was unclear at first if this was a plane crash or a pipeline explosion. Join us today as we break down the NTSB failure report following the 2010 San Bruno gas leak to discuss the main causes, impacts on the local community, prevention strategies, and how this tragedy has affected modern regulations.

Highlights:

  • What were the first signs of a serious problem?
  • What delays prolonged the leak?
  • How did the plane crash rumor affect the operators’ decision-making?
  • What technology and procedures are in place today to prevent similar leaks?
  • What was the extent of the damage from this tragedy?
