A buildup of gas in a trapped environment elevates the risk for explosion as the methane levels continue to increase. Natural gas can combust on its own under the right conditions. Within a pressurized gas environment, a simple spark is all that's needed for an explosion. "Unfortunately explosions are way to common and occur on a regular basis," McDonald says. "It appears to be getting worse."
Most explosions get blamed on aging infrastructure and a lack of resources to properly patrol, monitor, and fix that infrastructure. McDonald spoke to PopMech while he was investigating the scene of a March 4 explosion in Ewing, N.J., that killed one woman while destroying 10 town house units and damaging many more. He says that with many pipes, especially cast iron pipes, reaching more than 100 years old, the problem will only continue to grow.
