OVV begint onderzoek naar gasrisico's na zware explosie binnenstad Utrecht

The Dutch Safety Board (OVV) is launching an investigation into the risks of gas explosions following a severe explosion in Utrecht's city center in January. The board will broadly examine gas explosions due to their often 'enormous' impact on residents and the environment. Natural gas remains a crucial energy source for Dutch households for the coming decades. The investigation will include explosions in Oldenzaal and Bilthoven in 2022, though it's not yet confirmed if gas caused the Utrecht explosion. Four people were lightly injured, and several buildings collapsed, with surrounding properties heavily damaged.
