Check this out you guys!
Here's some specs!!
CRAZY!!!
The Alberta Energy and Utilities Board and TransCanada Corporation are
investigating the Dec. 1 and Dec. 2 rupture of TransCanada's natural gas
pipeline in northern Alberta.
The EUB says the breaks resulted in no injuries or environmental damage.
The first break in the 36-inch pipeline carrying sweet gas occurred at
approximately 5:45 p.m. Dec. 1 about 30 kilometres southwest of the
community of Little Smokey, about 110 kilometres southeast of Grande
Prairie, then at around 7 a.m. the next day another rupture and resulting
fire occurred roughly 15 kilometres downstream of the original incident.
"The flow was shut in right away," said EUB spokesperson Bob Curran.
TransCanada said it immediately activated its emergency response plan to
isolate damaged sections of the pipeline and allow the natural gas fires to
burn themselves out.
The cause of the ruptures will take a while to determine, said Curran.
TransCanada said some shippers were impacted as a result of the second
break; however, there are no further resulting impacts and deliveries of
gas to local communities have not been impacted as a result of either
incident.
