Governor: People Will Be Held Accountable

 A natural gas distribution expert  says the house and building explosions in Lawrence, Andover, and North  Andover are "unprecedented".  

New England Gas Workers Association  President Mark McDonald says over-pressurization of the gas  lines could be behind the emergency.  

He says a failure in the primary  and secondary pressure regulators along distribution lines could have  led to the explosions.  

The cause of the explosions, which have killed  one and injured over a dozen, are still under investigation.

The Governor has already promised a complete investigation and those responsible for the deadly events will be held accountable.

Shelters are available to The Red Cross has also set up reception centers for  evacuees at Parthum Elementary and Arlington School in Lawrence and the  Andover Cormier Youth Center.
