Leaks may be behind natural gas blast that killed teen
A natural gas explosion that killed a 12-year-old girl and injured four others in Dallas earlier this year wasn’t the only one that rocked that neighborhood, according to the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), which is investigating the incidents.
The Feb. 23 blast was preceded by two other natural gas events in that area, on Feb. 21 and 22. The NTSB says multiple leaks were identified by Atmos, the natural gas service provider, during its assessment of the Durango Drive incidents and that numerous other leaks in the vicinity have been identified since.
