Three people were injured Tuesday afternoon and others were missing after a natural gas pipeline exploded in a remote part of the Texas Panhandle.
The blast occurred about 4 p.m. near the small town of Darrouzett, a few miles from the Oklahoma border.
The blast was the second natural gas line explosion in Texas this week. On Monday a different line exploded near Cleburne, southwest of Dallas, as utility workers were digging in the area. One of the workers was killed.
