According to report released by NTSB, 2012 rupture of a Columbia Gas Transmission Corporation natural gas pipeline in West Virginia was caused by external corrosion that could have been discovered by pipeline operator. Said pipeline had not been inspected or tested since 1988. If it had been inspected with inline tool, NTSB claims the rupture would likely have been avoided. NTSB Chairman Deborah A.P.
