The Invisible Threat Under the Suburbs
In July 1986, a high-pressure petroleum pipeline ruptured beneath Mounds View, Minnesota, sending over 22,000 gallons of raw gasoline into a suburban storm sewer system. The resulting 50-foot wall of fire claimed the lives of Beverly and Jennifer Spano, injured local residents, and forced the evacuation of an entire neighborhood. Discover the story of the corporate diagnostic delays, the federal investigations, and the subsequent passage of the 1987 Minnesota Pipeline Safety Act that permanently reshaped infrastructure safety and gave birth to Gopher State One Call.
