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

- The restaurant's window glasses and doors have been broken and damaged due to the powerful explosion.
Abu Dhabi: Twenty-one buildings in Mussaffah were damaged in a fire sparked by an explosion of a natural gas pipe in a building, Abu Dhabi Civil Defence said yesterday.
A spokesman said an eight-storey building caught fire yesterday early morning when a gas pipe exploded. The incident happened in a restaurant in the building. Two people, a man and a woman, were injured, and 21 buildings as well as 45 cars parked in the vicinity were also damaged.
"The operations room received an alert about the incident at 3.30am," said Colonel Shaikh Mohammad Bin Tahnoun Al Nahyan, director of the police directorate of the outer regions.
"The Civil Defence fire brigade, police and ambulances were immediately dispatched to the scene and were able to prevent the fire from spreading to other buildings," he added.

A imam of a mosque and a woman sustained minor injuries and were rushed to Al Mafraq Hospital after they were given first aid. He said the first two floors of the building, where the fire started and some of the shops were destroyed.
A leak in the gas pipe was the cause of the explosion.
"Buildings must be inspected every three months in cooperation with authorised gas companies and the civil service department," said Colonel Mohammad Bin Naseeb Al Nuaimi, Director General of Abu Dhabi Civil Defence
Al Nuaimi advised landlords and restaurant operators to follow safety procedures including regular inspections of gas tanks and pipes. He also called for installation of fire alarm systems.
Multiple cylinders
A witness who spoke to Gulf News on condition of anonymity said the problem was caused by the unsafe practice of connecting multiple cylinders to the main gas pipe.
"One of the cylinders leaked and exploded, causing other cylinders to explode," he said. Another witness said the main explosion occurred in a cafeteria.
An Indian resident, J.P.S., who was residing in one of the damaged buildings said he and family members panicked and thought there was an earthquake.
"Soon after the explosion, somebody rang our doorbell and alerted us about the fire. We ran outside the building but did not find any fire in our building but saw windows were broken everywhere," he said.
Hanif, an Indian owner of a restaurant in a small hotel three rows behind the building that caught fire, was upset that the glass windows and fixtures in his restaurant was entirely broken.
"We called the police who came and took pictures and left. No compensation was promised," he said. "We were lucky the incident happened at night or else several people would have been injured," he said.
‘Horrific to run out'

Inquiry into gas plant explosion
Additional information on the Cork plant:
http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/ireland/2011/1126/1224308188692...
The Health and Safety Authority has started an investigation into an explosion at a gas bottling plant in Cork yesterday in which two men were injured.
The explosion at the Irish Oxygen Company plant at Waterfall on the southwest outskirts of Cork city happened at about 11.15am.

Another article as people take notice of Irans mysterious explosions lately. A comment:
Coincidences .... bad management and maintenance .... no suitable parts because of sanctions .... espionage .... but a fivefold increase in explosions at refineries and gas pipelines since 2010 should be enough to raise alarm bells in Tehran.

Iran Has Too Many Mysterious Explosions
In this image taken from amateur video smokes rises from an accidental explosion at a Revolutionary Guard ammunition depot outside Bidganeh village,west of Tehran which killed at least 15 people on Saturday Nov. 12, 2001, officials said. The explosions occurred when military personnel were transporting munitions at a base, said Guard spokesman Ramazan Sharif. The base is located outside Bidganeh village, 25 miles (40 kilometers) southwest of the capital.Mysterious Explosions Pose Dilemma For Iranian Leaders -- Washington Post
TEHRAN — A massive blast at a missile base operated by Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps nearly two weeks ago was the latest in a series of mysterious incidents involving explosions at natural gas transport facilities, oil refineries and military bases — blasts that have caused dozens of deaths and damage to key infrastructure in the past two years.
Iranian officials said the Nov. 12 blast at the missile base was an “accident,” and they ruled out any sabotage organized by the United States and its regional allies. The explosion on the Shahid Modarres base near the city of Malard was so powerful that it shook the capital, Tehran, about 30 miles to the east.

THE BLAME GAME.........
Egypt's gas pipeline to Israel attacked
Flames rise from an Egyptian pipeline distribution station after an attack in the Sinai Peninsula on July 12, 2011.An explosion has hit an Egyptian pipeline supplying natural gas to Israel, making it the eighth assault on the energy route since February.
Witnesses said several masked saboteurs planted explosives under the pipeline, which is located around 60 kilometers (40 miles) west of the town of al-Arish in the north of the Sinai Peninsula, before fleeing, AFP reported on Friday.
The blast caused little damage and did not start a fire because little gas was flowing through the pipeline at the time due to repair work from a previous attack on November 10.
A recent opinion poll shows that an overwhelming majority of Egyptians oppose the terms of the country's gas deal with the Israeli regime.
According to a press TV poll conducted by Synovate, which was released on October 3, seventy three percent of the respondents said they were against gas exports to Israel. Only 9 percent of those surveyed said they agreed with the supplying of gas to the Israeli regime, and 12 percent had no opinion.
For Egyptians, the issue of supplying the Israeli regime with gas has always been a contentious one. Egyptians view Israel as an enemy and oppose engaging in any form of business with the regime.
Egypt's gas supply to Israel has been one of the main economic conditions of the US-sponsored 1979 peace treaty between the two sides.
Under a USD 2.5-billion export deal with Tel Aviv, signed in 2005, the Israeli regime receives around 40 percent of its gas supply from Egypt at a considerably low price.

A Canary Island government statement said a 55-year-old female Norwegian tourist was one of four people in critical condition after the blast at the Cordial Mogan Playa hotel in the southwest of the island. She was said to have burns to 100 percent of her body.
The rest of the injured were believed to be Spaniards working at the hotel, with the most seriously hurt flown by helicopter to hospitals on the island.
The statement said 17 other people were treated for minor anxiety attacks.
The blast occurred as a truck delivered propane to the hotel. Part of the building was affected by flames, forcing the ceiling of the hotel's spa to collapse.
Nearly 1,000 guests were evacuated. Spanish National Television said that the hotel hoped to let them return later in the day.

Former employee says he warned IPL about exploding manholes
A former IPL employee says he spent months trying to convince IPL to make safety changes to prevent manhole explosions but that IPL ignored him.
Indianapolis—Fire shooting out of the streets, burning cars, man hole covers flying through the air, injuring people and damaging businesses—just some of the phrases used to describe the manhole explosions that have occurred in Ddowntown Indianapolis since 2005.
"On the positive side, nobody has been seriously hurt or killed yet--that's my terror," said Dwane Ingalls, a former IPL employee.
