Hey, Radar!

How is the '99 accident related to the On Call stuff?

From your link:

On October 8, 2002, The National Transportation Safety Board, after a three-year investigation, ruled that the Olympic pipeline explosion was caused by a cascading series of events rather than a single catastrophic failure of the fuel pipe. The NTSB cited damage caused in 1994 by IMCO General Construction Company while conducting excavation work at nearby Whatcom Falls Water Treatment Plant, the failure of the Olympic Pipe Line Company to identify or repair the damage, a faulty computer system which failed to respond to repeated indications that pressure was building up inside the pipeline, a faulty pressure relief valve and failure to adequately train its employees.

Just sayin... (causing trouble) :-O

The guy that spoke at our meeting said the Feds cited this as one of the worst accidents, involving underground pipeline, in the country; so they feel imposing huge fines and demanding restrictions will some how make it all go away.......
