Boston: One person dead, others injured after dozens of gas explosions and fires

As far as pressure control and management that’s something that’s out of my wheelhouse (I work with a gas utility, but more on the contracting/project management side). So i can’t hazard a guess as to what may have gone wrong, but typically safety measures would not be turned off ahead of upgrades or replacements. My hunch is that it was a massive failure of a reg station, but again that’s not my expertise. I’m interested to find out what happened because its very strange.
