  1. correct. and they shut all of them off. However it is a pressurized gas line. There is still a ton of pressure inside it. And unfortunately, they just have to let it drain out. Thing of your tires on your car and stabbing a hole in the tire. You are not going to stop it if you stab it. Just gotta let the air go out until it is all out. But you stab too big a hole, the whole tire will just explode on you. Not good. Now take that idea and transfer over to natural gas pipelines. You can start to formulate an idea of how it works. For safety and emergencies just like this, they specifically engineer it and build it to leak out the rest of the gas and let it burn out after turning off the emergency shut off valves on either end of the pipe.

  2. they did turn it off actually. Pipelines are hundreds of miles long and have emergency shutoff every so many miles, as REQUIRED BY LAW. So they did shut it off. But in between the shut offs, it still has gas inside it. And the only thing they can do it let it burn out.

  3. And went through the chainlink fence surrounding the valve.

  4. there ARE shut off valves and Energy Transfer DID shut them off. That said, there’s still a lot of natural gas inside the pipe still. Pressurized. And there’s no way to contain it other than to evacuate the perimeter and let it burn out. Because of how high the pressure is. Thing of putting air inside your tires. And the tire pops. Well that is an instant release of all of the air pressure. Here, we have pipe full of gas pressure. Similar to a tire popping, except slowly, because of the wmergency pressure valve is specifically engineered and built to release the pressure slowly if the valve gets compromised. If it was not build that way, it will be like a megatons bombs exploding the whole vicinity.

  5. silly reporter lady tryna act all tough at the end of her broadcast there when it was a private individual’s vehicle that broke the law and trespassed and went and cooked Energy Transfer’s pipeline valve and they can’t even get in there to see what happened. lol, stupid reporter lady with you mean tough look there at the end. lol
