Authorities in Deer Park, Texas, responded to a massive pipeline explosion on Monday after a vehicle struck an above-ground valve, causing a pillar of flame to shoot toward the sky. Fortunately, investigations by police and local FBI agents have ruled out any terrorist involvement, deeming the incident as isolated.
Witnesses Sherry and Chad Richard described the SUV involved as moving slowly before veering off, crashing through a fence, and hitting the valve, resulting in a loud explosion and widespread fire.
