The Flint explosion that took two lives and injured others also resulted in the damage or destruction of 27 homes. The Flint explosion occurred on November 22 at around 9:30 at night. The cause of the highly destructive, deadly blast is yet to be determined. What is known about the Flint explosion as of Saturday, November 26 includes:
There is no new information on the state of the investigation into the deadly Flint explosion. An investigation into the cause of the blast has been ongoing. There is no indication as to how long the investigation will continue. There is no timeframe yet available as to when more information might be made available to the press and the public regarding the explosion investigation.
Directly after the explosion, the natural gas utility company issued a brief statement. In that statement, the utility company stated that it maintained that it was not responsible for the explosion. Despite the state, the utility service company is participating in the investigation of the blast.
The stark reality is that residential explosions of this nature typically are associated with natural gas service at a property. Another reality is that decaying infrastructure is a major problem. Indeed, Flint itself has made national – even international – headlines regarding potable water issues.
Gas pipelines are on the list of types of infrastructure that are in decaying and even dangerous condition. For this reason, speculation is ongoing that decaying infrastructure may have contributed or even caused the fatal Flint explosion of this past week. Again, the timeframe within which clear information will be available regarding the cause of the blast and whether a degraded pipeline contributed to the disaster is not yet known.
