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

NTSB investigates gas line strike after explosion injures six near Hayward

A leveled home smolders while PG&E and state investigators document the scene following a devastating explosion that left six people injured after contractors doing road work struck a gas line on East Lewelling Boulevard in Hayward, Calif., Thurs

ALAMEDA COUNTY, Calif. - Federal investigators are working to determine how a gas leak escalated into a massive fire and explosion that injured six people and shook a residential neighborhood near Hayward, officials said Friday.

The NTSB said a team of four investigators arrived on scene to begin documenting the area and collecting evidence, marking the initial phase of a broader investigation. 

The agency said it will examine human factors, the pipeline system and the surrounding operating environment, but will not determine a cause at this stage.

The backstory:

The explosion occurred Thursday morning in the Ashland neighborhood of unincorporated Alameda County after a third-party construction crew struck an underground natural gas line on the 800 block of Lewelling Boulevard, according to PG&E. The utility said the line was hit around 7:35 a.m., nearly two hours before the blast.

On Friday, PG&E said one release of natural gas was stopped around 8:15 a.m., followed by a second release that was secured around 9:25 a.m. The explosion happened shortly afterward.

Fire officials said six people were taken to area hospitals with injuries that included burns, respiratory issues and bone fractures. Three people suffered minor injuries, while the remaining victims were listed in stable condition. 

PG&E confirmed that three of those injured were its employees, but declined to comment on their conditions.

What they're saying:

Neighbors said the other three injured were family members living inside the home that sustained the most severe damage.

"All I know is they're in the hospital… I know my dad tried to get in contact with them, but they're not answering their phone calls," said Casandra Bernal. "We lived here for 15 years and apparently they have lived here for 20… I think this is really tragic, it's really sad."

Residents described the blast that sent debris flying, blew out windows, and rattled nearby houses.

"Boom, everything shakes, things fell off, the boxes fell over, it knocked my husband over. It felt like a Hollywood movie," said resident Brittany Maldonado. 

Alameda County fire crews remained on scene Friday as authorities continued to assess damage and monitor safety concerns. 

Some nearby residents reported losing gas service and said PG&E arranged hotel accommodations while repairs are underway.

Residents identified the construction crew as Redgwick Construction, based in Oakland. Both the company’s website and the Alameda County Public Works Department list the work as part of an active project to improve East Lewelling Boulevard.

"I know we got a paper from Redgwick, the construction company, saying 'hey FYI, we're doing this major construction project, it's going to take a while."

What we don't know:

Authorities have not released the identities of the injured. The investigation remains ongoing.

Investigators say the truck appeared to be carrying stored materials, including gasoline and propane tanks.

Preliminary findings suggest the explosion was accidental.

Evidence indicated that propane was leaking within the truck’s cargo box. The exact source of ignition could not be determined.

“At this time, there is no indication the incident is criminal in nature,” Lewiston Fire Marshal Julian Sorrell said in a statement.

The explosion caused damage to nearby businesses, including Old Navy and the Courtyard Marriott.
