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

One person has died and five others have been injured in a blast at a factory in Gujarat Industrial Development Corporation (GIDC)’s chemical estate in Ankleshwar, Gujarat on June 11, 2020.
The blast happened at the unit of Hemani Industries Ltd, a company headquartered in Bharuch that manufactures agricultural chemicals, insecticide sprayers and pesticides, according to sources. The company has units at both Ankleshwar as well as Dahej, also in Bharuch district.
The explosion happened between 2 and 3 am. Of the five workers who are injured, three are said to be in a critical condition and the death toll is expected to rise, sources said.
This is the second industrial accident in Bharuch district in less than a fortnight. On June 3, a blast occurred at the plant of Yashasvi Rasayan Pvt Ltd in the port of Dahej. Ten people have died so far in that accident.
On the morning of May 7, 2020, toxic styrene gas leaked from the unit of LG Polymers Pvt Ltd in RR Venkatapuram village, Visakhapatnam. Till now, 11 people have died in the accident.
In the evening of the same day, two boilers exploded at NLC India Ltd’s thermal power station at Neyveli, Tamil Nadu, injuring eight people.
The previous day, on May 6, another gas leak accident had taken place at a paper mill in Raigarh, Chhattisgarh, after which seven workers had to be hospitalised.
“The Gujarat Pollution Control Board and the director of health and safety were expected to take care of emergencies when the COVID-19 lockdown was imposed. They were to expected to main a 24X7 vigil. Instead, both were assigned other tasks. Even now, both are not functioning fully,” Rohit Prajapati, a Gujarat-based environmental activist told Down To Earth.
“Nobody has a clue as to which chemical is lying in the factories. It was ad hoc situation on March 25 and it is the same now,” he added.
Prajapati said that disaster management authorities in India only understood situations floods and cyclones and to some extent, earthquakes. “Even Gujarat, a state that has a plethora of chemical industries does not know how to tackle a chemical emergency,” he said.

20 workers dead in Afghanistan mine collapse
Miners were trapped since Tuesday noon after gas blast sealed off access tunnel
10.06.2020


KABUL, Afghanistan
All 20 miners trapped in a coal mine that collapsed in Afghanistan’s northern Samangan province a day earlier have died, officials confirmed on Wednesday.
The workers were stuck inside the mine after a gas explosion at around noon (0730GMT) on Tuesday sealed off the access tunnel.
“Eight bodies have been retrieved and efforts are underway to find and take out the remaining 12 victims,” Siffat Ullah, the province’s deputy governor, told Anadolu Agency.
The tragedy raises questions over safety measures at mining operations in Afghanistan, where illegal mining remains rampant in many remote areas.
On Tuesday, Mohammed Hashim, acting chairman of the provincial council, said no rescue team had reached the site hours after the blast, with locals trying to help the trapped miners on their own.
However, the provincial police force disputed his claim, saying that teams had responded immediately, according to Salam Afghanistan radio.
According to the US Geological Survey, Afghanistan has reserves of oil, gas, lithium, and other rare metals and minerals worth trillions of dollars, most of which remain untapped due to the country’s volatile security situation.

8 Workers Dead In Blast At Chemical Factory In Gujarat, 40 Injured 

Gujarat Factory blast: In visuals, a long plume of black smoke is seen rising from the chemical plant in Gujarat's Dahej.

Updated: June 03, 2020 09:41 pm IST

New Delhi: An explosion at a chemical factory that sparked a big fire killed eight workers and left some 40 workers injured at the plant in Gujarat's Dahej, a mainly industrial area. Ten fire trucks came to the site. People in villages near the plant have been taken to safer areas as the chemical fire is poisonous, a district official told news agency Press Trust of India.
"Eight workers died in the boiler blast at the chemical factory," police inspector Vipul Gagiya told PTI.
In visuals, a long plume of black smoke is seen rising from the plant that is located on an open area.
"Around 35-40 workers received burn injuries after the boiler of an agro-chemical company exploded in the afternoon. All the injured have been taken to hospitals in Bharuch, and efforts are on to control the fire," Bharuch collector MD Modia told PTI.
The fire has engulfed the entire factory, Mr Modia said, adding the residents of two villages near the chemical plant have been evacuated.

People shared videos of the fire on social media. The plant belongs to chemical major Yashashvi Rasayan Pvt Ltd, which produces over 15 chemicals for industrial use.
Chemical fires are particularly dangerous for people in areas near the source of the fire as toxic gases could spread wide.
Last month, a chemical leak in a plant of LG Polymers India in Andhra Pradesh's Visakhapatnam district led to hospitalisation of 200 people and 11 deaths; 1,000 more people were affected by the gas leak from the plant that was left idle because of the coronavirus lockdown. LG Polymers made polystyrene and expandable polystyrene in India. The raw material, styrene, is highly flammable and releases a poisonous gas when burnt.

A huge explosion was reported at the Baghjan production well under Baghjan Oil field of Oil India Limited in Tinsukia on Wednesday morning at 10:30 am.
According to sources, the blast occurred due to some technical problems in the oil field as operational work was taking place in the day.

The nearby area is being evacuated apprehending fire in the gas in the atmosphere due gas being pumped in the air.
Because of the incessant rain, the chances of an immediate fire decreased.

The ongoing operations had to be immediately suspended and the well started releasing natural gas in an uncontrolled manner.
All efforts were been made to mobilize men and equipment at the site so that the well can be brought under control.

Further, the Crisis Management Team from ONGCL, Nazira has been mobilized to assist OIL’s efforts to control the well at the earliest.
The blast took place while workover operations were going on to produce gas from new sand (oil and gas-bearing reservoir) at a depth of 3729 metres.
Earlier the well was producing around 1lakh Standard Cubic Metre per day (SCMD) of gas from a depth of 3870 metres

Fire, explosion in Los Angeles injures 11 firefighters
An explosion Saturday at a hash oil manufacturer in downtown Los Angeles injured 11 firefighters who had gone inside the building after an initial report of a fire

LOS ANGELES -- An explosion Saturday at a hash oil manufacturer in downtown Los Angeles injured 11 firefighters who had gone inside the building after an initial report of a fire.
Los Angeles Fire Department Capt. Erik Scott said “one significant explosion" shook the neighborhood around 6:30 p.m., and as first responders arrived they saw firefighters emerge from the building with burns and other injuries. He did not provide conditions on the injured.

He described the business as a maker of “butane honey oil." Butane is an odorless gas that easily ignites.
The process of making the oil involves extracting the high-inducing chemical THC from cannabis plants to create a highly potent concentrate also known as hash oil. The oil can be used in vape pens, edibles, waxes and other products.

Two Killed In Reactor Blast At Zaheerabad Bio-Diesel Plant

HYDERABAD: Two workers were killed and another injured in a reactor blast at a bio-diesel plant near Zaheerabad town in the Sangareddy district of Telangana on Wednesday
The incident happened when workers were carrying out repair works at the reactor in the bio-diesel plant which is being readied to resume its operation after the lockdown.
According to the police, the reactor's roof exploded and the workers were blown away under the impact of the blast. Identified as Ghousuddin (35) and Shabeer (33), the two workers died on the spot while injured Krishna Reddy was admitted to a hospital.
The bodies were shifted to a government-run hospital for a post mortem examination.
Infuriated by the explosion and the loss of life in the incident, local residents staged a spontaneous protest outside the plant and demanded compensation for the victims' families.
Later, legislators Manik Rao and Mohammed Fareeduddin visited the plant and assured the families of the victims of all possible support from the state government.
The industrial accident in Telangana comes close on the heels of the LG Polymers plant gas leak tragedy at RR Venkatapuram in Visakhapatnam last week. The gas leak industrial tragedy claimed 12 lives and affected a few hundreds of people living in the adjoining villages of the polymer plant on May 7.
In all, people of about five villages were affected by the styrene gas which leaked from the LG Polymers plant. Incidentally, the Vizag gas leak incident also happened at a time when the plant was being prepped up for the resumption of production after being closed for over 40 days due to the lockdown.
