I was living in Alabama when the Copper Kettle blew up. I had driven past it just the day before. After the cleanup I still remember a radio commercial for something that said they was a few doors down from "the Auburn crater"
It always seems weird that the stinky gas leaks can go for so long and not be reported. We had on in OKC area not too long ago that the homeowners called the gas company about a gas leak. As they pulled up the house exploded.
