Explosion in Spectra's Pennsylvania pipeline


Dear Franklin Town Councilor, 
I'm attaching an article about the Spectra pipeline explosion that occurred in Pennsylvania on April 29, 2016. The preliminary opinion is that it was caused by corrosion. 
According to Spectra it had been inspected 2 years prior to the event. The 30" pipe was scarily similar to the one through Franklin; bare steel more than 50 years old. Imagine this happening in Franklin 20' from the new proposed pipeline. 
Please don't let this happen here! Please join Sharon and Walpole by going on the record against it. 
Sincerely, 
Jim Hill 
5 Gloucester Dr.

You'll recall that Jim spoke during the Citizens Comment portion of the Town Council Feb 3, 2016 meeting warning that such an explosion was possible:
