Investigators determined that a pressurized line containing

about 9,000 pounds per square inch detached from a fracking unit

causing the incident.

Investigators located a pipe that had been disconnected

during the incident with valves attached to both ends.

No foul play was suspected at the time of investigation. But

further investigation is pending from the Occupational Safety

and Health Administration (OSHA).
