absolutely - aging infrastructure; just like the earthquake bridge failures and the MN bridge failure, this pipeline was 50 to 60 years old

AND it was on a list of high risk pipelines

sounds like they were reviewing it preparatory to replacement or upgrades but had not had time to do that yet - just like the bridges

you can bet they will ramp up the review & replace timeline now

so it looks we will get some add'l infrastructure spending in the US

not sure, but I may have seen something about the grade of steel used also
