The report describes and analyzes the explosion, on May 14, 1972, of crude oil vapors which had sprayed from a ruptured 8-inch pipeline operated by the Exxon Pipe Line Company near Hearne, Texas. The explosion was followed by a fire, which killed one person, seriously burned two others, destroyed a house, and melted nearby railroad, telephone, and pipeline communications lines. The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause of the explosion and fire, and makes recommendations to the Office of Pipeline Safety of the Department of Transportation and the Exxon Pipe Line Company.
