NPR's Wendy Kaufman reports a major natural gas pipeline in Washington state has been shut down, while officials investigate the cause of two explosions along the line last weekend. The blasts have raised concerns about the safety of the 4000 mile pipeline system that runs throughout much of the Pacific Northwest.
