Oklahoma Gas Pipeline Rupture Causes Massive Fireball

The explosion, which shot flames 500 feet into the sky, is the second incident involving Phillips 66 in recent weeks.

A gas pipeline owned by Phillips 66 ruptured near the Texas-Oklahoma border, causing a fire explosion that shot 500 feet into the sky.
The explosion occurred around 9:15 p.m. in Elmwood, on the Oklahoma side of the border.
There were no injuries or health threats to neighboring residences reported.
The cause of the rupture is still under investigation by the US Department of Transportation’s Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration and the Oklahoma Commission Corporation.
This is the second incident involving Phillips 66 in recent weeks, following a fire at the company’s refinery in New Jersey where a worker was injured.
