Pipeline Safety Called for After Deadly Blast
Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood said Monday that he is working with Congress and regulators to strengthen pipeline safety and make sure tragedies like the gas explosion in Pennsylvania which killed five don't happen again. Part of LaHood's plan is to make sure operators know the age and condition of their lines and that information about pipelines and operators' safety records be accessible to the public. In Allentown alone the Mayor reported having 295 reports of pipeline leaks in the last 14 months including nine which required neighborhood evacuations.

Democrats in the U.S. Senate are pushing for increased regulations and safety procedures for the pipeline industry.
