ON APRIL 29, 1985, A LEASE SERVICE COMPANY WAS CONSTRUCTING A LOCATION FOR AN OIL RIG. AT APPROXIMATELY 1:37 PM, EMPLOYEE #1 WAS OPERATING A BULLDOZER IN WHAT WAS TO BECOME A FLARE PIT. THE PIT WAS ABOUT 6 FEET DEEP. WHILE THE BULLDOZER WAS WORKING IN THE PIT IT MUST HAVE STRUCK AN 8 INCH PIPELINE CARRYING CRUDE OIL UNDER PRESSURE. THE SUPERINTENDENT SAID HE SAW DIRT AND ROCKS SPEWING OVER THE BULLDOZER, AND THEN THE BULLDOZER WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES. EMPLOYEE #1 COULD NOT ESCAPE FROM THE FIRE AND WAS PRONOUNCED DEAD AT THE SCENE. THE SUPERINTENDENT KNEW THERE WAS A PIPELINE IN THE AREA, BUT HE DID NOT MAKE AN EFFORT TO FIND ITS EXACT LOCATION.
