This incident was on the news.
One of the stories found online says in part, "Law enforcement and utility company officials said preliminary investigations showed that a pit dug by construction workers who were trying to remove an underground oil tank collapsed and pinched a gas line just before 9 a.m. Utility crews were sent to the scene after residents nearby reported the odor of gas; 30 minutes later, the explosion shook the area."
Anybody know any more details? I'm always skeptical about the media's ability to get the details straight.
What do they mean by "pinched" a gas line?
