A TransCanada pipeline ruptured and exploded in North Bay, Ontario, in the early 1960s and again in 1978.{{citation needed|date=November 2020}}
1958: The Slater Street explosion: A massive explosion rocked the Centertown core of Ottawa at 8:17 am on Saturday, October 25, 1958. As an Ottawa Citizen reporter later described, the scene looked “just like a bombed area in wartime London.” The explosion occurred at the Addressograph Multigraph building at 248 Slater Street when natural gas seeped into an unused manufactured gas pipe system and into the building. A chemical reaction occurred. When a janitor turned on a light switch, the gas in the air exploded. Debris caused major traffic problems and 40 people were injured from flying glass fragments. 60 off-duty police and RCMP officers were called in to help police evacuate the area. William J. Anderson, the janitor at the Addressograph Multigraph building, died several days later from injuries sustained in the blast. Prime Minister John Diefenbaker came to the site to view the destruction. Over 25 businesses were closed indefinitely. Prince Philip arrived in Ottawa on October 31 to view the explosion site and question officials. Overall, the entire incident cost the government two million dollars in damages.{{Cite web|url=https://ottawa.ca/en/arts-heritage-and-events/city-ottawa-archives/exhibits-and-events/virtual-exhibits/witness-change-visions-andrews-newton-photographs/disasters|title = Disasters|date = 11 December 2019}}

2009: A July 20 Alberta pipeline explosion and fire involved a TransCanada Corporation natural gas pipeline. The explosion, which sent 50 meter flames into the air, destroyed a {{convert|2|ha|adj=mid}} wooded area. The NEB said the delay in releasing the report was caused by an "administrative error" when an employee left without transferring the file over. The Peace River Mainline pipeline, built in 1968, had ruptured six times and leaked on 17 occasions until 2014. The line ruptured in 2009 due to corrosion.{{cite news| title=Pipeline rupture: Alberta resident unaware of 2009 blast | url=http://www.cbc.ca/news/pipeline-rupture-alberta-resident-unaware-of-2009-blast-1.2525030 | work=CBC News}}

2012: On September 18, twenty-two workers died when a gas leak from a Kinder Morgan pipeline at Reynosa, Tamaulipas, Mexico sparked an explosion which became a fireball that overtook workers running for their lives. Lead plaintiff Javier Alvarez del Castillo said, "They were engulfed in fire that burnt and singed every inch of skin from their head to their ankles, taking every bit of hair from their head, laying the plaintiffs 'skinless,' like skeletons bare to the bones, with in most cases only their footwear attached to the only portion of their body not reduced to skeleton." He blamed Kinder Morgan for not adding enough of the odorant methyl mercaptan to the gas. (Natural gas is odorless, so energy companies add the sulfur compound to make leaks smelly and therefore noticeable.) "A gas company may be liable if facts show that it fails to act reasonably after having notice of defects in the pipes through which gas flows," the ruling states, citing the Texas appellate court case Entex, a Division of NorAm Energy Corp. v. Gonzalez.Cameron Langford, “[https://www.workerscompensation.com/news_read.php?id=24257 Kinder Morgan on Hook for Blast That Killed 22],” Courthouse News Service, July 15, 2016, accessed 2018-01-07.

Taiwan

2014: On the night of July 31, a string of explosions originating in buried gas pipes occurred in the city of Kaohsiung. Leaking gas, suspected to be propylene, filled the storm drains along several major thoroughfares and the resulting explosions turned several kilometers of road surface into deep trenches, sending vehicles, people and debris high into the air and igniting fires over a large area. At least 30 people were killed and over 300 injured.{{cite web|author1=Gladys Tsai|author2=Ralph Jennings |url=https://news.yahoo.com/taiwan-explosions-probe-focuses-petrochem-firm-084259627.html |title=Taiwan explosions probe focuses on petrochem firm |publisher=News.yahoo.com |date=2014-08-02 |accessdate=2016-10-04}}{{cite web|author=直播✦活動 |url=http://www.setnews.net/News.aspx?PageGroupID=1&NewsID=33335&PageType=1 |title=高雄驚傳嚴重氣爆意外死傷人數攀升至28人、286傷 | 首頁 | 三立新聞網 SETN.COM |publisher=Setnews.net |accessdate=2016-10-04}}{{cite web|url=http://focustaiwan.tw/news/aeco/201408060012.aspx |title=Economics minister urges Kaohsiung to offer new routes for gas pipes | Economics | FOCUS TAIWAN – CNA ENGLISH NEWS |date=6 August 2014 |publisher=Focustaiwan.tw |accessdate=2016-10-04}}
