Liquid Natural Gas (LNG), Methane and Gasoline leaks and explosions do happen.
www.NTSB.Gov investigators write official reports, and summarize dangerous patterns, and change the rules to prevent them. This page links to 121 such reports since 1969.
Dangers lurking below the surface of an underground gas storage field are often down-played by companies like Sempra Energy (Southern California Gas Company). If you are located near a storage facility take it seriously.
Check out San Bruno, CA Report, 8 people were killed, 38 homes within 1/2 mile destroyed, and 70 homes damaged.
