We'll be seeing an uptick in unusual home and business gas explosions and I'm trying to locate specific ZT on the matter.  Below is a refresher for the many gas related news articles.

SOZT

Fault lines, when adjusting, do not just rip apart one day during a dramatic earthquake. They most often creep. Laying gas lines along or across a fault line is asking for an accident of this sort. Fault lines are also seldom so clearly delineated that one can go a mile in this or that direction and avoid their action. Where a slip-slide fault such as the San Andreas will often leave a clear line on the surface, this is only the surface action, not what occurs in the rock layers on either side which can fracture for a long way to either side during any movement. The gas company, or the age of the pipes, will be faulted but in truth the finger should be pointed in many directions. The public, who insist on living at such a scenic spot, is to blame. Officials, who zoned for housing are to blame. The public utility company, for allowing gas lines in the area, is to blame. But this will change nothing, while man continues to live on the San Andreas, even as it awakens. EOZT

The danger from radon gas will not be increased as a result of the pole shift. Radon gas is emitted by rock containing uranium, which is degrading. In normal circumstances, where air can circulate, it is disbursed rapidly as is any methane created by decay of organic material. The danger from these gasses comes from confinement - being trapped in a mine, a basement, or beneath the permafrost. The dangers are well known. For methane, it is explosions. An accumulation of methane gas can be identified by the smell of rotten eggs, or as some have described it, dirty socks or cabbage soup. For radon gas the danger is lung cancer, from the continual exposure to the radioactive air. Radon gas is odorless, and cannot be detected except by specialized equipment not in the hands of the average person.

In that the pole shift, or the Earth changes preceding the pole shift, can fracture rock and release pockets of either gas, survivors should be cautious about huddling in bunkers. You are safer out in the open air, or in a trench you have dug that will allow the pole shift winds to pass over you, but nothing to fall on and crush you. The fact that both methane gas and radon gas can accumulate in the bunkers of the elite is one of the reasons we have stated that they have dug their own graves. EOZT

Anyone watching the news, for instance the news on the San Bruno explosion in a distribution line close to the San Andreas Fault line, knows that gas in any form is a danger. Oil and gas refineries explode when rigid piping cracks. Oil or gas wells explode when the ground around them moves. And the gas distribution lines running under cities are no exception. They likewise will explode. Gas lines, whether along the street or within a home, are rigid. In some cases automatic shutoff valves can limit the amount of gas available for an explosion by sensing a drop in pressure, but this is always after the fact. The explosion has already occurred. Utilizing gas on a planet prone to earthquakes was a mistake to begin with, but man never thinks of the consequences when striving for modern conveniences. We have advised turning off the gas at the street, though when the street explodes and your neighbor's homes are on fire you are not likely to escape the holocaust. A better alternative is to live in an area where gas is not available, as in your rural safe location where you will be doing a form of camping while gardening. A campfire at night, for cooking and washing and a bit of friendly light before bed. Nothing explosive. EOZT

SOZT Answer: It is no accident that the New Madrid fault lies under the Mississippi River near Memphis, as rivers form in lowlands created when land pulls apart, separating the rock fingers and weakening support for the land. Thus, the Ohio River bed also is an indication of where rock fingers will pull apart. Two adjustments in Kentucky, a day apart, are not an accident, but an indication of the speed at which the stretch zone is starting to adjust. Rail lines are frequently an early harbinger of such adjustments, as they run long distances, whereas structures within cities, such as tall buildings, take up relatively little space and have a small footprint. Our warning that imploding cities will be experienced, before the hour of the shift, are in this regard. Be warmed, it will not just be your rail lines and gas and water mains that will shatter and be pulled apart during the stretch. The foundations of your tall buildings will likewise be vulnerable.EOZT

KIEV, June 17. /ITAR-TASS/. A gas blast went off at the Russian-Ukrainian Urengoy-Pomary-Uzhgorod gas main on Tuesday afternoon, the press service of the police department in central Ukraine’s Poltava Region told ITAR-TASS.

“The gas explosion went off one kilometer away from the village of Iskovtsy. According to available reports, no people were injured in the gas blast, fire-fighting efforts continue,” the press service said.

Eyewitnesses said that the flame rose 200 meters up after the blast.

The blast at the Russian-Ukrainian Urengoy-Pomary-Uzhgorod gas pipeline in Ukraine did not affect the transit of Russian natural gas, British news agency Reuters reported with reference to a source in Russian energy giant Gazprom on Tuesday.

“Gas export did not reduce, this is a parallel gas pipeline,” the source stated.

Police say 6 killed, 30 injured in explosion and gas leak at India steel plant


Indrajit Singh / The Associated Press 
June 12, 2014 10:57 AM

PATNA, India - At least six people were killed and 30 more injured in an explosion and a subsequent gas pipeline leak on Thursday at a government-run steel plant in central India, police said.

The accident happened in Bhillai steel plant in Chhattisgarh state, 35 kilometres (20 miles) west of Raipur, the state capital, said Pradeep Gupta, a police inspector-general.

Gupta said 11 of the workers' injuries were considered serious and they were transported to a hospital in Raipur where they were placed in intensive care.

Aaj Tak television news channel said that methane and carbon monoxide had leaked from a pipeline following the explosion.

The leak from a blast furnace occurred due to damage in a water pump, the Press Trust of India news agency quoted a statement by the plant management as saying.

Police said the gas leakage at the steel plant has been controlled.

Raman Singh, the state's top elected official, expressed grief over the casualties and said the best possible medical care would be provided to those injured in the accident.

Nine missing after blast in Ukraine mine

KIEV: Nine miners were missing on Thursday after a gas explosion ripped through an underground coal mine in eastern Ukraine, authorities said.

The blast happened before dawn at a depth of 300 metres (1,000 feet) in the mine, located in the eastern city of Kirovsk, the State Emergency Service said in a statement.

Work in the mine was immediately halted, but more than three hours later there were still no signs of the missing miners, the statement said.

Accidents are a regular feature at Ukrainian mines, most of which are located in the country's industrial eastern region, where pro-Russian rebels now control over a dozen towns and cities.

Many of them are underfunded and poorly equipped, and safety violations are rife.

In the worst accident of its kind in the country's post-Soviet history, more than 100 miners were killed in an explosion in 2007 at the Zasyadko mine, one of the three biggest in Ukraine.

Kosovo power plant blast kills three, many injured

At least three people were killed and many more were injured in a suspected gas explosion at a major power plant outside the Kosovo capital Pristina today. 
"Until now we have three confirmed dead and ," Derat Rukiqi, the chairman of plant's management board told AFP. 
The head of Pristina's emergency centre Basri Lenanji said 13 people had been taken there with injuries. 
Ambulances were seen speeding to and from the blast site, which was sealed off by police. 
Rukiqi said the blast - heard in Pristina 10 kilometres (six miles) away - was believed to have been caused by gas. 
"The explosion was so strong that I thought it was an earthquake," an injured engineer with a bandaged head told local television from his hospital bed. 
"The ceiling started to fall. Before I left the plant I noticed many wounded and much blood," he said. 
An AFP photographer who managed to approach the plant two hours after the explosion said its walls were severely damaged. 
The windows of about a dozen cars parked nearby had shattered from the impact of the blast, as had those of houses in the vicinity. 
Thick black smoke billowed from the plant as firefighters and rescuers from a special emergency unit of Kosovo Security Force made their way in and out of the building. 
The Kosovo A plant is the second largest power station in the country with a capacity of 449 MW. It produces more than 30 per cent of electricity in Kosovo. 
The European Union has described the plant as the worst single source of pollution in Kosovo. It is expected to be closed by 2017. 
A worker who happened to be outside the plant at the time of the blast said: "There was a huge fire that broke out after the explosion. Panic broke out. We started to run as no-one knew what was going on." 
"The explosion broke my (entrance) door and all windows of my house," said a man living nearby the plant. 
"We all ran out the house as we thought a bomb was thrown on it," he added. 
Outgoing Kosovo Prime Minister Hashim Thaci came to the plant shortly after the blast. 
He denied rumours that new blasts could be expected.

Gas Line Explosion Shakes Knifley Area

The aftermath of Thursday morning's explosion left workers scrambling to clean up the area well into the afternoon.
 

By Blake Spires
Asst. Editor

An early-morning gas line explosion beneath Ky. 76 in the Knifley community destroyed much of the road, damaged three nearby homes, and sent two residents to the hospital for treatment Thursday.

The explosion, which took place just before 1 a.m. Thursday morning, sent rocks and debris the size of small vehicles erupting into the air, according to Adair County Judge-Executive Ann Melton, and forced roughly 20 people to evacuate their homes.

Two residents injured in the explosion suffered the wounds as they tried to escape their burning home. The pair, a middle-aged couple whose names have not yet been made public, were treated and released.

“You can train and practice for this all you want, but it’s still chaos at first when something like this happens,” said Adair County Emergency Management Director Greg Thomas. “Our first responders did an outstanding job of getting the situation under control, however. The best part of it was that no lives were lost. That’s the number one priority.”

Fire Departments from Knifley, Breeding, Adair County, Taylor County, Dunnville, Clementsville, and Casey County responded to the situation, and were joined by the Adair County Sheriff’s Dept., Adair Search and Rescue, and the Lake Cumberland Territory Red Cross.

By roughly 8:30 a.m., the blaze was completely extinguished. Thomas said in a press conference Thursday morning at the Knifley Area Volunteer Fire Dept. that he hopes residents can be back in their homes by tonight.

“The goal is for tonight to be as normal a night as possible for them,” he said of those displaced by the explosion. “The wonderful thing is that a lot of times in areas like this, people rely on neighbors and family. That’s what happened here.”
