This uses the term "exploded" into flames. Not so much a big bang boom explosion but a fire.


The Texas Eastern Transmission Corporation Natural Gas Pipeline Explosion and Fire occurred in Edison, New Jersey on March 23, 1994 where a 36" diameter natural gas pipeline broke and exploded into flames next to the Durham Woods apartment complex along New Durham Road at its junction with Interstate 287. The cause of this breakage was the fault of a local contractor who was trying to bury a truck in the area. The resulting fire destroyed or severely damaged 14 of the apartment buildings. Over 100 residents were left homeless and one death occurred from a heart attack suffered by Sandra Snyder, who was unable to summon emergency workers "amid the chaos." Because the fire occurred so close to the Durham Woods complex, residents in the area also refer to it as the Durham Woods fire.
