100 yr old SE Mich gas lines

[jayz]

Has anyone noticed like a subtle trend in the local news over the last few years about gas explosions and leaks?

And then I find this article:

Pretty much detailing how SE Michigan's Gas lines are a hundred years old and falling apart and the utilities aren't replacing them fast enough.

And then there's this leak story from June which pretty much renforces what the Freep said last fall.

Maybe I'm being paranoid but after the Royal Oak house explosion a few years back and the Warren warehouse explosion before that, I feel like I'm living on a time bomb.

I just thought this was relevant considering how much Detroit is sinking into the M1 while the rest of the city probably sits on 100 year old rusty gas pipes primed for an explosion that would give a literal meaning to Detroit's motto. [[Again)
