Belgian gas pipe blast kills 15, destroys plants Photo removed for copyright reasons GHISLENGHIEN (Belgium) July 30 - A huge blast on a leaking gas pipeline in Belgium on Friday sent giant fireballs in the air and catapulted bodies hundreds of metres in the biggest industrial disaster in the country's recent history. At least 15 people were killed and more than 100 injured when the explosion ripped through the underground pipeline in the industrial zone of Ghislenghien, near the town of Ath, 40 km (25 miles) southwest of Brussels. PICTURE shows the cut gas pipeline which exploded at an industrial estate in Ghislenghien, southern Belgium, July AFPpix.
