Human error was the cause of Friday’s natural gas explosion in downtown Springfield that leveled a strip club, damaged dozens of other buildings, and injured at least 19 people, officials said on Sunday.
The blast at Scores Gentleman’s Club occurred when a worker from Columbia Gas of Massachusetts who was investigating a gas odor accidentally punctured a high-pressure gas line at the foundation of the building, State Fire Marshal Stephen D. Coan’s office said in a statement.

Let's hope that Columbia Gas is going to make everybody whole, including paying for rebuilting everything the explosion destroyed.
Then again, I wouldn't be surprised if there's so law that gets them off the hook. I hope not.
