When the creek turned pink at 3:25 p.m., gasoline was already flowing beneath a public park that had been hiding a damaged pipeline for five years - and in the next 97 minutes three safety systems would fail. How did a construction strike in 1994, a misconfigured relief valve, and an automatic valve closure combine to turn a summer afternoon into a catastrophe that killed three people?
In this episode, we tell what happened in Whatcom Falls Park on June 10, 1999, tracing the sequence from a buried sixteen-inch pipeline to the 30,000-foot smoke column that rose over Bellingham, and we ask why nobody stopped the hazard during the five years it lay undiscovered.

Location: Whatcom Falls Park, Bellingham, Washington
- A sixteen-inch steel pipeline carrying gasoline ruptured at 3:25 p.m, on June 10, 1999.
- The pipeline had been struck by a construction crew in 1994 and remained damaged and unreported for five years.
- Ninety-seven minutes after the rupture began, three people had died, including an 18-year-old who drowned before fire ignited.
- Investigators found the pressure relief valve was improperly configured and did not open during a backward surge caused by an automatic valve closure.
- The resulting smoke column reached 30,000 feet, visible from Vancouver to Anacortes.
