The blast came without warning in the early evening. It killed eight people, seriously injured 38 others and destroyed 58 homes in the suburb just south of San Francisco.

What made you pick a pipeline as an example of deregulation?
The pipe was installed in 1958 before testing methods such as x-ray scanning welds and met the standards at the time. The company was fined 1.6 billion so I don't think they got off scott free.
If regulations were ignored perhaps it was the union employees who ignored regulations. I hear the union ads about how professional and knowledgeable the union employees are, so who failed to do their job correctly?
What regulations were ignored since you brought up the pipeline?
