Remarkably, the problem appears to have been solved, at least temporarily. Traffic is normal (actually light) both ways on Rt 123 / Chain Bridge Road there. Don't ask me how that can be, it was a roaring leak that made waves in the air in the early afternoon. I guess the gas company was able to turn off gas to whatever was leaking.

Amazing the difference in response between a private company and the county government when dealing with a situation that closes down a major road during rush hour
Remember the hay truck fire that shut down I-66 during evening rush?

You do know it's the fire department who's in charge of a gas leak that significant, right?
But that would fuck up your argument so....nevermind. Carry on being a whining bitch.

The gas company was on scene. The FFX county fire dept turned the line repair/shut-off over to them. They were, of course, the first to respond but the private gas company solved the problem. So, you're the whining bitch. Get your facts straight before you go off the handle.

Someone else needs to get their facts straight. This is in the City of Fairfax and on the side of the fire truck it says "Fairfax City Virginia". Not the county. There is a difference. Looks like Fire Chief Dave Rohr and Assistant Fire Chief Andrew Wilson took care of business in this case. Good job men.

At least noone was killed THIS time. Piping gas under the street is jusk asking for trouble. All electric homes with heat pumps are the only way to go if you want to live.
Washington gas alone has killed hundreds of people over the years.

and Dihydrogen Monoxide has killed millions - yet they have pumped millions of gallons of it to every home, school, and business for decades!

Each time I try to quit that stuff, I get the worst withdrawal symptoms. I think I need help.
