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.

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

Family escapes home gas explosion at Essendon North

A FAMILY was lucky to escape after a leaking gas cylinder caused an explosion, shattering the windows in their Essendon North unit.

A FAMILY was lucky to escape after a leaking gas cylinder caused an explosion, shattering the windows in their Essendon North unit.

Firefighters were called to a fire in the unit in O’Shannassy St about 2.15pm.

MFB commander Bob Undy said firefighters believed a man may have accidently turned two LPG gas cylinders, believed to be about 9kg each, on as he moved them from the laundry to a back bedroom while the family did some cleaning.

The man’s wife and child were in the bedroom, heard a hissing noise and the family evacuated the unit.

Cmdr Undy said the gas spread from the bedroom to the laundry and made contact with the pilot light.

''That caused a flashover and fire in the back bedroom and because of the fire in the bedroom a disk in the LPG cylinder ruptured and caused an explosion, blowing out all the windows in the unit and one in another unit six or seven metres away,'' he said.  

Cmdr Undy said crews managed to bring the fire in the bedroom and roof space under control straight away.

''If the mother hadn’t been in the back bedroom and heard the hissing they would have been badly burnt,'' he said.

''We are really pushing that people don’t store their LPG cylinders inside and they check their gas BBQ cylinders and hose lines are fitted for used coming into summer.

Crews battling gas line fire [UPDATED]
Published 4:05pm Saturday, December 3, 2011

Firefighters and crews from Williams Gas & Pipeline have shut down a gas pipeline that ruptured and caused a massive fire Saturday afternoon. The fire has died down but crews from Marengo Fire and Rescue are unable to reach the property and battle the blaze.

The explosion, which was first reported at approximately 3:30 p.m., could be heard from as far away as north Demopolis.

The fire was isolated to a mostly unpopulated area down Highway 69 toward Myrtlewood, near Rembert Hills Road on hunting land. There were no injuries reported but there witnesses say there were three hunters on the property at the time of the explosion, two of which have been accounted for.

Deadly gas threatens Huntly miners

LOUISE RISK, BELINDA FEEK AND MATT BOWEN

Huntly East Coal Mine
Bruce Mercer/Fairfax NZ
'TIME BOMB': Huntly East Mine, where Solid Energy is downplaying the seriousness of what the company says was a single event.

Workers say a Pike River-level disaster has been narrowly avoided in the Waikato after an explosive level of gas was detected at Huntly East Coal Mine.

An experienced miner, who wishes to remain anonymous to protect his job, says the Huntly East Coal Mine is a "time bomb" after explosive levels of gas were found while 40 men were working underground earlier this month.

"It was a Pike River ready to go," he said.

But Solid Energy – who own the mine – are downplaying the seriousness of what they say was a single event.

Communications manager Vicki Blyth confirmed "higher than normal methane levels" were detected in an area of the mine on November 11 due to a geological fault, but she said that was "not unusual with underground mining".

"We implemented our standard procedures," she said.

Those procedures involved the staff being "stood down" to work in another area of the mine while an auxiliary fan was used to ventilate the area at a slow and steady rate.

She said an internal investigation had been launched into the matter.

The Labour Department have also confirmed they are investigating an incident at the mine.

"As we are investigating the incident there is no other comment we can make," a spokeswoman said.

But workers at the mine have grave concerns about the mine's safety.

An experienced miner said the methane levels in the Huntly East mine built up to a potentially explosive 5 per cent in the area men were working.

A royal commission of inquiry into the Pike River explosion – that killed 29 men last year – has revealed methane levels spiked to between 1.5 per cent to 2.5 per cent of air inside the mine two weeks before the first deadly explosion.

The miner said a methane level of 2 per cent was enough to evacuate, and "bleeding" or venting of the mine happened when levels hit 3 or 4 per cent.

A methane level between 5 per cent and 15 per cent combined with oxygen and an ignition source would spark an explosion.

"It's serious. It's a time bomb."

He blamed a lack of experience among management at the mine for the incident.

"All the experienced section managers have gone to Australia. The managers have less and less experience."

Mrs Blyth also confirmed a "different matter" involving Huntly East Coal Mine employees was being investigated, but would not elaborate further due to the investigation.

The Waikato Times understands the incident – on November 15 – involves two shift managers, one a senior manager with 40 years of experience, and the other an experienced trainee manager.

The two managers are understood to have, on two separate occasions, flicked a switch from automatic lock

Dawson, GA -

Investigators think a gas leak is to blame for an explosion that blasted 50-year-old Ella Mae Ware out of her Dawson home Monday night. The incident happened between 6:00 and 7:00.

Arson investigators are digging through what's left of her home at 349 10th Street in Dawson.

Ware was taken to the burn unit at an Augusta hospital for treatment and was scheduled for surgery today.

The house is a total loss, and investigators are scheduled to interview the landlord later today.

Explosion In Isfahan, Iran: If It's Not The Mossad, Is It From The ...

"At least 17 gas pipeline explosions have been reported since last year, compared with three in 2008 and 2009. At the same time, nearly a dozen major explosions have damaged refineries since 2010, but experts say it is complicated to determine the cause of such incidents."
Washington Post, Mysterious explosions pose dilemma for Iranian leaders


All the Washington Post had to do today was report on the upsurge in major explosions in Iran, and someone in Iran decided to oblige: Explosion rocks Iran city of Isfahan, home to key nuclear facility:

An explosion rocked the western Iranian city of Isfahan on Monday, the semi-official Fars news agency reported, adding that the blast was heard in several parts of the city.


According to reports, frightened residents called the fire department after the blast, forcing the city authorities to admit there had been an explosion.

Iran has resorted to denying some of these explosions or giving some other explanation for what is happening--but has seemed to be reluctant to come right out and blame the Mossad or the CIA for the incidents.

The explanation that Michael Ledeen gave to the explosion 2 weeks ago is still valid.

Michael Ledeen credited the Iranian opposition with the attacks fro...:

These attacks on the Guards — the symbol of the regime’s intensifying repression and slaughter of the Iranian people — are part of a pattern that includes explosions at refineries and pipelines. At the same time, strikes have been spreading (and no wonder; up to 30,000 retired teachers have been waiting for their pensions for many months). In short, people have lost patience, and the smaller of the two explosions at the RG base was aimed at Major General Hasan Tehrani Moghaddam, one of the most brutal of the country’s military leaders.
Contrary to the inevitable suspicions of the thumb-suckers (the Americans did it! no, the Israelis did it! no, it was an accident!), the operation was planned and carried out by Iranians from the opposition-that-does-not-exist.  
They intended to demonstrate that no leader is s

OOPS! Mystery explosion rocks Iranian nuclear site

KABOOM!

IRAN’S Fars news agency says blast heard distinctly in several parts of the western Iran city; a uranium conversion plant near Isfahan went online in 2004. Iranian government said to be embarrased by this latest in a series of explosions and cyber attacks on its nuclear facilities.

HAARETZ  According to reports, frightened residents called the fire department after the blast, forcing the city authorities to admit there had been an explosion.

 

Speaking with Fars news agency, Isfahan’s deputy mayor confirmed the reports and said the authorities are investigating the matter. However, after the incident was reported in Israel, the report was taken off the Fars website.

It seems that city authorities and the Iranian government were embarrassed by the reports of a blasts, releasing contradictory versions of the alleged events. One example is a statement given by the same deputy mayor to the Mehr news agency, saying he had no reports of an explosion.

Another confirmation came from the head of the city’s judiciary, who said an explosion-like sound was heard. Meanwhile, the Mehr news agency reported there has been a blast at a petrol station near the city. Another report pointed to a training accident.

The reported incident occurred about two weeks after Gen. Hasan Tehrani Moghaddam was killed together with 20 other Guard members Nov. 12 at a mi

OK......This 1 is really interesting as it was the water that exploded on a hot pan being cleaned from a tofu meal.    Methane coming up from the drain, methane coming from the water?  Hot pan meets cold water and BAM....explosion.

Portland, Ore., investigators puzzled by explosion while woman was cleaning tofu pan

PORTLAND, Ore. — Fire investigators in Portland, Ore., are trying to figure out how cleaning a pan of tofu could cause an explosion that broke out a window and resulted in $15,000 of damage.

Fire Bureau spokesman Paul Corah tells The Oregonian (http://bit.ly/vLTwjn ) that a woman in the Old Town district said she cooked tofu Sunday night, and as she washed the pan, a blast knocked a 4-by-6-foot window into the street.

The reported incident occurred about two weeks after Gen. Hasan Tehrani Moghaddam was killed together with 20 other Guard members Nov. 12 at a military site outside Bidganeh village, 40 kilometers southwest of Tehran.

Iran operates a uranium conversion plant near Isfahan, It first went into operation in 2004, taking uranium from mines and producing uranium fluoride gas, which then feeds the centrifuges that enrich the uranium.

Blast at restaurant in mall

KUALA LUMPUR - A restaurant at the ground floor of the Maju Junction Shopping Mall caught fire in an explosion believed to be due to a gas leak.

A distress call was received at about 11.25pm, said City Fire and Rescue Department operations assistant director Azizan Ismail.

"A fire engine from the Chow Kit fire station was immediately dispatched to the scene and found that the explosion occurred due to a leak in a gas pipe in the restaurant's kitchen.

"The severity of the explosion caused the glass doors and ceiling at the restaurant to break and collapse," he said yesterday.

Firemen then shut off the gas supply to the restaurant.

Azizan said a Hazmat (hazardous materials) team was also dispatched to the scene to assess the damage and inspect the gas valves and pipes.

"No one was injured during the incident as the shopping mall closes at 10pm daily," he said, adding that the restaurant was closed till further notice.

Mall general manager Albert Khoo said this was the first time such an incident had occurred since the premises opened in 2002.

Yesterday's was the second explosion at a shopping mall after a similar explosion rocked the Empire Shopping Gallery in September.

That explosion resulted in four people being injured.

Ascot homes evacuated after suspected gas explosion

Damage to the property on Sutherland Chase following the explosion. Picture taken by Murray Barter.
 
A number of neighbouring properties have been evacuated

Two people have been airlifted to hospital with burn injuries following a suspected gas explosion in Berkshire.

Thames Valley Police were called to a “badly damaged” detached house on Sutherland Chase, Ascot, at 12:23 GMT.

Engineers from National Grid, which is responsible for gas supplies in the area, attended the incident alongside Berkshire fire service.

A number of properties in Sutherland Chase and nearby Nash Gardens have been sealed off by police.

Neighbours said the front of the house was demolished, leaving the top of the stairs exposed and a large amount of rubble in front of it.

‘Windows shook’

The condition of the man and woman who were taken to hospital in Southampton is not yet known, but there are not believed to be any other casualties.

A spokesman for National Grid said engineers had cut off the gas supply to the property.

But he added it was “too early to speculate on the cause of the explosion at this time”.

A police cordon is in place and an investigation is under way while the road has been reopened.

Samantha Billingham, who lives on Sutherland Chase, said her husband witnessed the explosion.

“He heard a really loud noise and our windows shook,” she said.

Roger Crunden, who also lives in a nearby property, said: “It was how I imagined a bomb going off to sound.”
