Atmos Email Calls to Question Actions Taken Before Fatal House Explosion

Dallas, TX (WBAP/KLIF) – As Atmos continues a natural gas line replacement involving 28-hundred homes in Northwest Dallas, some of the affected residents were allowed back into their homes Sunday, but they remain nervous and fearful.

One resident told WFAA-TV that he was scared because he feared that pipes could go bad again, leading to another explosion like the one that that killed a 12-year old girl.

Meantime, in a newly discovered email from Atmos to state regulators, they reveal that Atmos workers were investigating gas leaks involving two Northwest Dallas homes some some 12 hours before an explosion at another home killed a 12-year-old girl, but did not evacuate or shut off gas lines until after the deadly explosion.
