NTSB Delays Final Report on Sissonville Pipeline Blast



The National Transportation Safety Board has delayed release of the final report on a massive natural gas line explosion last year in Sissonville.

It happened last September. The blast destroyed several homes and damaged a section of Interstate 77.

The report was expected to be released by Dec. 3. The NTSB says that won't happen, though, because many of its investigators were furloughed during the recent government shutdown.


There is no word on when the report will be released.
