What happened

Two natural-gas explosions and fires occurred at homes about 0.7 miles apart. The first killed one person, injured another and destroyed a house; the second destroyed two homes. The NTSB found that soil movement loosened underground pipe connections and that Atmos Energy had detected the leaks at least eight weeks earlier but classified them as nonhazardous and did not repair them.
