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

SOZT

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

Devastating Explosion in Quebec Industrial Plant Remains Unexplained (Nov 8) -

http://www.ctvnews.ca/canada/two-dead-after-explosion-fire-at-quebe...

 Two people have died after an explosion and fire at a plant in Sherbrooke, Que. Another 19 people were injured, some with severe burns.

The explosion, which occurred at a Neptune Technologies & Bioressources facility, caused the fire.

The two dead were found in the rubble after the blast.

The cause of the explosion is unknown, but several smaller explosions followed the initial one, which was so violent it set a local record for 911 calls, according to Gaetan Drouin, a local fire chief.

Martin Carrier, a Sherbrooke police spokesman, said more than 100 people in Sherbrooke and surrounding suburbs phoned within a minute.

"Just looking at the damage to the building you can see it was probably very violent," Drouin said.
"I was working in my garage and I heard a loud, 'Boom.' Then we were evacuated," a local resident said.

Another resident said the flames could be seen from blocks away. Neither resident wished to be identified.

The fire left the facility ruins, with the remaining walls scorched black.

The fire struck the plant's 15,000 litres of acetone reserves, causing concern about toxicity because the substance is flammable and can cause irritation if ingested.

Thick black smoke was seen coming from the plant and could be seen for miles.

"A lot of black smoke. You could see it everywhere in the city,” Carrier said.

Neptune Technologies & Bioressources produces and exports health products derived from marine life like Omega-3.

"We're in terrible shock over what's happened," Michel Chartrand, chief of operations for the company, told reporters at a press conference Thursday evening.

He added that plant officials will work with authorities to determine what caused the incident.

“We want to understand what happened,” he said.

Gas explosion in Moscow, Russia.

http://rt.com/news/moscow-suburb-pipeline-fire-897/

A massive fire caused by a gas pipeline leak struck a Moscow suburb during the night, obliterating 17 buildings. Firemen only managed to bring the raging inferno under control three hours after it broke out.

Both gas and electricity were temporarily cut off from the Northeastern Moscow suburb of Sholkovskaya near the village of Almazovo after a gas pipe caught fire, reports RIA Novosti.

The flames of the ensuing inferno reached 10 meters in height and covered an area of approximately 600 square meters.

The fire caused significant damage to the surrounding area, destroying 17 country houses. Authorities said that no one was injured in the blaze.

The fire started at 4.50am Moscow time (00.50 GMT) and was triggered when a short-circuiting wire ignited a gas leak, according to preliminary reports.

Electrical fire, possible explosion trigger downtown power outages

_DSC0226.JPG

National Grid employees examine a manhole at the corner of Genesee and Elizabeth streets after a reported explosion on Friday, Oct. 26, 2012.

An electrical fire and a possible underground gas explosion may have triggered a series of brief power outages throughout the downtown area late this morning.

Some electrical and phone outages occurred at about 11:50 a.m., and dispatchers received a report of a minor explosion at the corner of Elizabeth and Genesee streets almost immediately thereafter.

Utica Fire Deputy Chief John Kelley said responding emergency crews found a small fire in the electrical vault under a manhole cover on the west side of Genesee Street. A National Grid crew was in the area at the time and was called to assist.

"There's no extention to any of the buildings, no power loss....," Kelly said of the extent of the fire. "It might have caused a momentary loss of power, but it's all restored."

National Grid workers could be seen kneeling or laying near the manhole shortly after noon, and occassionally leaning into the hole with flashlights. It was not immediately clear what they were looking at or for, however.

Kelly said the crew would be cutting power to the electrical vault but that it wouldn't affect any other National Grid customers.

"We can't do anything until they kill the power ... and then it usually will extinguish itself," he said of the fire.

A portion of Genesee Street was closed in both directions while crews were on the scene.

Explosion Halts Iranian Gas Flow To Turkey, Again

Turkish media reports say the flow of Iranian natural gas has been halted due to an explosion in eastern Turkey.

Turkish energy officials have been quoted as saying that 28 Turkish solders were injured.

The incident took place late on October 18 near the town of Eleskirt, in Turkey's eastern province of Agri.

It is the latest explosion to hit gas pipelines in Turkey this month.

On October 8, Turkish authorities blamed the separatist Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) for a blast on a pipeline in Turkey's southeast that halted the Iranian gas flow to the region.

That happened four days after an unexplained explosion on another pipeline halted the flow of Azerbaijani natural gas to Turkey via the Baku-Tbilisi-Erzurum pipeline.

Microwave oven ?  stirs a gas explosion destroying a home in a Castle Rock neighborhood.

http://kdvr.com/2012/10/12/explosion-levels-house-in-castle-rock/

CASTLE ROCK, Colo. — Fire crews were responding to a natural gas explosion in the Castle Rock area that leveled a house on Friday morning.

Castle Rock Fire confirmed that a house at 6942 Sulfur Lane in the Sapphire Pointe neighborhood had been completely leveled at approximately 7:15 a.m. One woman and four children sustained non-life-threatening injuries in the blast, which also damaged two other homes.

According to the Denver Police Department, the home belonged to Lt. Jimmy Martinez. The five individuals at the house at the time of the explosion were his wife Lisa, and the couple’s four adopted children, Chuna, 6, Elen, 4, Oz, 11, and Ahbie, 7.

All of the adopted children are natives of Ethiopia, with the girls having been in the U.S. for six months and the boys about a year and a half. The family has four other children who no longer live at home and another son, 16-year-old Ryan Martinez, who was spending the night at a friends house when the explosion occurred. 

Witnesses told us the entire family at 6942 Sulfur Lane was able to escape before the house collapsed, with several of the children actually riding the rubble to safety from the second story down to the ground level.

All of Sulfure Lane — approximately 20 people, according to Castle Rock Fire — has been evacuated.

Homeowners across the city reported feeling the shock waves from the blast, with one woman claiming her home shook despite being five miles away. Residents in Parker, which is approximately 16 miles away, reported being able to hear the explosion.

“I’m from southern California, and I really thought it was an earthquake,” said Wendy Emmel, who lives two streets away.

Neighbors like Emmel in the immediate area reported smelling natural gas before the explosion, with one of those neighbors calling 911. After the explosion, neighbors reported seeing insulation raining down throughout the Sapphire Pointe neighborhood as fire crews began to arrive.

There was no confirmation about what caused the explosion, though police scanner traffic indicated it could have been caused by a microwave.

Gas well explosion injures four in Venezuela

Another gas explosion in Venezuela

Reuters

7:19 PM CDT, October 2, 2012


CARACAS, Oct 2 (Reuters) - An explosion at a gas well in
Venezuela injured four people on Tuesday in the latest accident
to hit the energy industry in the South American OPEC nation,
state oil company PDVSA said.

PDVSA said in a statement that the workers were stable in
hospital after the blast, which was caused by a leak at the
Petrourdaneta project in western Venezuela's Zulia state.

On Aug. 25 a gas leak caused an explosion at the country's
biggest oil refinery, Amuay, which killed 42 people, wounded
dozens more and damaged some 1,600 homes in the
area.

On Sept. 20 a lightning strike set fire to fuel storage
tanks at another refinery, El Palito, but no one was hurt.

Three Killed in Pertamina Pipeline Explosion
Thursday, 04 October, 2012 | 15:19 WIB

TEMPO Interactive, Palembang:Three were killed and dozens injured when an oil pipeline exploded at the Tempino-Plaju distribution channel in the Bayung Lencir district of South Sumatra on Wednesday.

The incident was confirmed by Robert MV, the External Relation Assistant Manager of state-owned oil and gas firm Pertamina�s South Sumatra Marketing Unit. �Three people were killed based on the first report. The victims were taken to a hospital in Jambi,� said Robert on Wednesday, October 3. Other information gathered mentioned that the explosion injured 40 others.

According to Robert, that crude oil pipeline was operated by national oil-drilling company Elnusa. However, his group is going to investigate that incident. �This pipeline was under supervision and operation of national oil-drilling company Elnusa.�

It had been reported previously that the Upstream Oil and Gas Regulator (BP Migas) urged the owner of Tempino pipeline to improve the security so that crude oil theft cases can be prevented. State-owned oil and gas firm Pertamina EP (limited) admitted to having suffered a loss of 39 thousand barrels of crude oil in May 2012 whereas in June, losses increased to more than 59 thousand barrels in one month. It was caused by the looting of crude oil at Tempino-Plaju pipeline in Jambi and South Sumatera which is increasingly concerned.

South Sumatra Regional Police Spokesperson, Police Grand Commissioner Adjutant R. Djarod Padakova confirmed that fire incident. However, he has not been able to ensure the the number of victims who died.
