Gas Explosion Graphic, Centralia, MO
How it happened: Federal investigators were focusing Friday on the failure of the safety valve (4) to avoid sending explosively high pressure gas to homes and businesses in the Centralia, Mo. disaster. The regulator (3), designed to reduce incoming gas at 40 pounds per square inch to about 4 ounces per square inch for use in the feeder lines to homes, let gas through at higher pressure, as it's supposed to when the pressure gauge (2) reads zero. But the safety valve failed to reduce pressure levels, turning pilot lights into blowtorches.
