Gas pipeline explosion in Canada leaves residents in the cold
TransCanada also owns Keystone XL pipeline
About 4,000 residents of southern Manitoba who rely on natural gas furnaces found themselves coping with wind chills of -45 Celcius (-49 Fahrenheit) , after a gas pipeline exploded in the Canadian province early Saturday morning, sending balls of flame hundreds of feet into the sky.
Officials of TransCanada Pipelines – the company behind the controversial Keystone XL pipeline – said the cause of the blast, which occurred early Saturday morning, is still unknown. There were no injuries in the blast.
