PG&E Pipeline Explodes During Pressure Test
A 2-foot-wide section of pipe burst Sunday during a high-pressure water test along the same Pacific Gas & Electric pipeline in Northern California that had a deadly explosion last year, sending mud, debris and a pipe cover into Interstate 280 and shutting down parts of the freeway for several hours, authorities said.
