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

Nine hurt as Denver gas explosion levels residential building

DENVER (Reuters) - Nine people were injured, one critically, on Tuesday when a natural gas explosion leveled a Denver apartment house, a fire department spokesman said.

First responders rescued two victims trapped inside the building, described as a “fourplex,” in Denver’s historic Baker neighborhood, said Denver Fire Captain Greg Pixley.

No one else was believed trapped in the rubble, alive or dead, Pixley said, but firefighters were conducting a thorough search to make sure.

“What we are using now is the cadaver dog ... to help us assure that we haven’t missed anything,” he said. “Our goal is not to find a victim, but to rule out that a victim is not there.”

Pixley said that arson investigators and a crime scene unit was on the scene as part of the investigation and that crews for Xcel Energy Inc (XEL.O), the Denver utility that supplied the building, had shut off all gas lines into the area.

Xcel Energy spokeswoman Michelle Aguayo said by phone the utility was working with the fire department to determine the cause of the blast.

Two people hurt in the explosion were transported to Denver Health Medical Center, said hospital spokesman Simon Crittle. One had severe traumatic injuries while the other’s injuries were not as severe, he said.

Seven other people who suffered minor injuries were treated at the scene, the Denver Fire Department said on Twitter.

A man who lives in the area told Denver television station FOX31 he smelled gas as he was walking to the store, before an explosion sent bricks flying into the street.

The fire department posted pictures of the apartment building on Twitter showing its roof collapsed in the explosion, which propelled wooden beams and other rubble cascading across the sidewalk.

Seven killed as coal mine collapse

August 13, 2018

At least seven miners are dead after an explosion caused a coal mine to collapse in South-western Pakistan, an official said on Monday.

More than a dozen miners were working when an explosion caused the mine to cave in, in the Sanjdi region of Balochistan Province.

“We have recovered bodies of seven miners, whereas six are still trapped,’’ said Muhammad Arslan, a spokesperson for the provincial disaster management authority.

Arslan said the mine caved in following an explosion triggered by an accumulation of methane gas.

Rescue operations were still underway, he added.

Most of the miners were from the Shangla area of the north-western province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, local media reported.

Poor working conditions inside coal mines in mineral-rich Balochistan regularly claim the lives of miners, but often go unreported.

Balochistan is Pakistan’s largest province and hosts a Chinese-built deep-sea port, part of Beijing’s road and rail corridor, known as the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor.

The corridor is designed to access markets in the Middle East and beyond.

2 Workers Severely Burned in Utah Gas Plant Explosion

30 Jul 18

This past Saturday, an unnamed natural gas collection facility exploded near Cisco, Utah. Grand County Sheriff's Deputy Jamison Wiggins said that two individuals were left with severe injuries—both were transported to hospitals in Colorado and Utah by helicopter. Police have purposefully left the facility unnamed.

The Utah gas plant explosion is currently being investigated, but Wiggins has said it is a collection facility. Utah Highway 128 was closed near the I-170 exit.

Multiple fire departments and first responders appeared on the scene, including Lower Valley Emergency Services, Grand County Emergency Services, Moab Fire Department, and Thompson Fire Department. They all waited until well after 10:15 AM (when workers shut off the gas) before entering the plant. The fire was still burning hours after the explosion.

What reporters have gathered is that the facility is located in the area of Interstate 70 near the Utah-Colorado border. The Bureau of Land Management has records of a gas plant in that area: the San Arroyo Gas Plant, which is located near Cisco and compresses natural gas gathered from regional pipelines.

Two Workers Airlifted Due to Explosion Injuries

Whatever the plant's location, both workers were airlifted to local hospitals for their injuries. One survivor was sent to University Hospital in Salt Lake City, and the other was flown to a hospital in Grand Junction, Colorado. Their injuries were described as "severe."

Burn injuries are the most costly losses a person can suffer—hospitalization, treatment, and long-term care all require multiple specialists and extensive resources. The physical and emotional damage of a severe burn can leave a person unable to work for months, perhaps years. Our Utah gas explosion attorneys have seen countless burn survivors fight through their injuries firsthand—and many of them were caused by plant accidents.

The Bureau of Land Management Predicted This?

In 2005, the Bureau of Land Management wrote that natural gas pipelines in the Grand County region would require replacement within 15 years. That was 13 years ago. Those same pipelines are between 40 and 50 years old—and aging infrastructure is one of the chief causes of plant accidents.

The Grand County gas explosion lawyers at our firm hope that the investigation is swift so that workers at the unnamed plant can have a safer workplace. Our hearts go out to the two workers who were injured in the explosion—we hope their recovery is just as swift.

Explosion at PA Army depot – multiple injuries  JULY 19, 2018

An explosion occurred at an Army depot Thursday morning.

The explosion took place at approximately 7:15 a.m. at the Letterkenny Army Depot in Franklin County, Pennsylvania, multiple news outlets reported.

Several injuries have been reported, but the total number of injuries or conditions of the victims have not yet been released.

The Franklin County Office of Emergency Management told Fox News that at least three people were airlifted from the depot after the explosion.

https://americanmilitarynews.com/2018/07/breaking-explosion-at-pa-a...

Letterkenny Army Depot is under the command of the U.S. Army Aviation and Missile Command. It was established in 1942.

In a now-deleted post, the Letterkenny Army Depot posted an announcement on Facebook: “There has been an incident at building 350. Employees, please remain at your work area until further notified. If you are outside of the main gate, please do not attempt entrance at this time.”

The depot also requested that all employees refrain from speaking to the media about the incident.

“LEAD employees – please do not post or share any information regarding the incident at 350 on Facebook or with any media outlets. Thank you,” it posted to Facebook.

The ministry said in a statement that the accident occurred early on July 16 at the Mindeli mine in Tkibuli, about 200 kilometers west of the capital, Tbilisi.

According to the ministry, a methane explosion apparently caused the collapse in the tunnel.

An investigation was launched to determine whether safety standards had been breached, the ministry said.

In April, an accident in the same mine killed six and injured three miners.

The mine is operated by the Georgian company Sakhnakhshiri.
