Looks as though two pressure regulators may have failed, causing lower pressure pipes to rupture.

Multiple gas explosions in Massachusetts
We often think that when we have completed our study of one we know all about two, because 'two' is 'one and one.' We forget that we still have to make a study of 'and.'

Re: Multiple gas explosions in Massachusetts
Hi
Where does it state that 2 pressure regulators may have failed?
I agree that there has been a failure somewhere but not best practice to speculate on a public forum?
Regards
Dave

Something I was told by someone who lives locally. But yes, you are right - I don't know this for certain.
