  But some little boy down the line will pay for it. Look for Eschede ICE accident.

    There are many examples. The Koch brothers, famous "anti-regulatory state" warriors, have fought oversight so hard that their gas pipelines were allowed to be barely intact. Two teens get into a truck, turn the ignition key - and the air explodes: https://www.southcoasttoday.com/story/news/nation-world/1996/08/26/2-texas-teens-killed-when/50633658007/ https://www.southcoasttoday.com/story/news/nation-world/1996... Does anyone go to jail? F*K NO.

      To be fair, the teens knew about the gas leak and started the truck in an attempt to get away. Gas leaks like that shouldn't happen easily, but people near pipelines like that should also be made aware of the risks of gas leaks, as some leaks are inevitable.

        As an alternative though, the company also failed at handling that the gas leak started. They could have had people all over the place guiding people out and away from the leak safely, and keeping the public away while the leak is fixed. Or, they could buy sufficient buffer land around the pipeline such that the gas leak will be found and stopped before it could explode down the road
