Natural Gas Pipe Xplosion in Residentail area

I've been following this incredible story on the news over the past few days. Thursday night just after 6pm when people would typically be home from work, a 30 inch high pressure natural gas pipe blew a 60 foot x 30 foot wide hole in the middle of the street and errupted into a ball of fire. The blowtorch burned for more than an hour before PGE were able to get the valves shut off. This is a compact neighborhood so the fire lept from house to house pretty easily, in the end 37 houses burned to the ground and another 8 or so damaged.
