In May, there was a gas pipeline explosion that destroyed several homes and put 3 different people into the hospital. One of the people injured in the explosion was a 77 year old woman who died in mid July from all the injuries she received in accident. State officials have now come back in to inspect Atmos Energy because of the events that occurred and have found a number of violations that are tied to the explosion that happened in McKinney in May.

Atmos Energy as well as their subcontractor are currently looking at up to $80,000 in fines because of the regulations that were found broken. The company has yet to state exactly what the violations were or how they were being taken care of. Each violation has a maximum fine of $10,000 which currently puts them at about 80 violations. They also have 30 days to respond to the violations and then will be forced to pay all fines.

Late Friday night, three girls were sitting in a car in Lafayette, IN. These three girls were inhaling air out of an aerosol can as a form of a drug used to give some sort of effect. While they were using the aerosol can, one of them decided to light a cigarette which caused a major explosion in the car which put all of the girls that were in the car into the hospital.

Officials say that they were in fact using the can in an attempt to get high which is what resulted in the explosions in the vehicle. The girls are still in the hospital and there is no word yet whether they will be getting out any time soon. The police have also not released any statements as to what their conditions are. Since they are minors the police want to have permission from the families before they release any information about the girl’s conditions.

A hotel under construction in San Diego had an explosion some time yesterday afternoon. Officials said that a gas or mechanical failure lead to the explosion in the construction portion of the hotel. Workers said that more than four of the floors of the hotel were damaged. 14 Workers were injured in the blast that shook the hotel. Three of the workers that were injured are now in critical condition at a local hospital.

Officials are currently looking through all of the construction area trying to rule out all possibilities. By standers said that all they saw was smoke pouring out of the building, but it looked like the building didn’t burn.

The three workers still in the hospital are in the burn unit of the hospital waiting to see how bad their condition is. The police will release information once they know exactly how the workers in the hospital are doing.
