BILL MOYERS JOURNAL and EXPOSÉ: AMERICA'S INVESTIGATIVE
REPORTS present an investigative story into tragic accidents
resulting from natural gas explosions. The report is part of
BLUEPRINT AMERICA, a PBS-wide series on the nation's
infrastructure. "Beneath the North Texas Dirt" follows Brett Shipp,
a television reporter from WFAA in Dallas, who discovered that
aging equipment connecting homeowners' gaslines to their gas meters
was failing, causing horrific explosions. Shipp found evidence
suggesting that for decades state regulators and local power
companies ignored this fatal problem in the vital infrastructure
that brings natural gas into hundreds of thousands of Dallas area
homes.
