Pipeline blast could up gasoline prices 4 cents/litre

Pipeline proponents have just been dealt another deadly, explosive setback. Colonial Pipeline Co. was forced to shut down its main gasoline artery to the east coast of the United States late Monday after a maintenance crew in Alabama accidentally hit the line with a trackhoe, creating a spark that set off a massive explosion. One worker died at the scene and five more were taken to Birmingham-area hospitals with severe burns. BNN
