This morning, a gas leak in the neighborhood of Barracas in the City of Buenos Aires resulted in one death and three hospitalizations. It’s unknown how the gas leak was started. The nearby students were not told to evacuate but Civil Defense ordered all neighbors of the accident to close their windows. SAME, Civil Defense and the Metropolitan Police are still near the site of the accident because gas and light were cut within a two-block radius but the leak is under control. The employees of a Metrogas contracting company were doing routine repairs on a low-pressure pipe when gas flooded the pit where Metrogas was operating.
