"Oil And Gas: Deadly Pipelines, No Rules" [1]

"STANTON, Texas — Delaney Tercero, 3, was sitting on her family's couch with her father and sister that summer day. Her mother was doing laundry.

They didn't know a pipeline with a dime-sized hole a few yards from their front door was filling their mobile home with raw natural gas.

Delaney's mother opened the dryer. The house blew up.

Men pulled Delaney from the rubble. A neighbor wrapped her in a scarf, trying to comfort her. Others rubbed burn cream on her sister's burns. Witnesses told responders her mother was burned 'head to toe.'"
