Public hearing is held for NSTB
SUMMARY: 16 WAPT's Madeleine Nolan covers a meeting involving Congressman Bennie Thompson and the NTSB discussing recent home explosions in South Jackson due to gas leaks. The NTSB found that Atmos Energy knew of the leaks but did not classify them as hazardous or repair them. They will release safety recommendations and determine the probable cause. Residents were encouraged to report gas leaks immediately and evacuate if necessary. Communication about reporting gas leaks needs to improve. The NTSB hopes to provide resources and information to the community and law enforcement to prevent similar incidents in the future.
