A deafening explosion took place at a main gas pipeline in Transnistria at 05.35am on Wednesday, Infotag was told by TiraspolTransGas, the owner and operator of the Transnistrian section of this trans-continental fuel transportation facility.<\/p>\n

The accident happened several kilometers east of Tiraspol, near the Dniester River. The 1200-millimeter-diameter pipe, lying 2 meters beneath the land surface, went off with a tremendous force, forming a crater about 10 meters across.

TiraspolTransGas engineers are saying they cannot say yet how much time it will take to liquidate the accident consequences and re-start the pipeline because they have not yet reached the place.

The explosion area has been surrounded by the militia and military in a radius of 2-3 kilometers. So far, nobody can approach the very explosion site, because the gas available in the pipe is still burning out, and a forbiddingly high air temperature will be raging for some time yet.
