Emergency workers came later and were able to turn down the valve so that less methane was escaping. Video was submitted anonymously. There are too many incidents like this that occur daily, due to a severe lack of state inspectors, and this will continue. Result: Texas continues to hold some of the dirtiest air in the US.
I think part of the point here is that this is an example of what can happen (and has happened and is happening) within a few hundred feet of our homes in highly populated residential neighborhoods and other areas where we work and play all over North Texas. Some who live near this kind of an emergency may never contact media. If the person capturing the video of this had stopped to call the media, they might not have captured it in its entirety.
