Enbridge Texas Eastern pipeline remains shut following explosion in Kentucky
Tuesday, August 6, 2019
Enbridge Inc has closed the section of its Texas Eastern pipe that killed one person when it exploded on Thursday, so it can work with federal and state officials to investigate the incident, according to Reuters.
The explosion occurred near Danville, Kentucky, marking the second so far this year on the Texas Eastern system. The first occurred in Ohio in January and injured at least two people. Additionally, it marks the third big blast for Enbridge in less than a year.
Enbridge said the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board assumed control of the incident site and the company was supporting that investigation.
