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

10 injured in gas pipeline explosion
SURAT: At least 10 residents, including four teenagers, sustained injuries in an explosion following a leakage in underground natural gas pipeline of Gujarat Gas Company Limited (GGCL) near Lalmiyan Masjid in Rampura on Saturday.
Official sources said fire and emergency departments received a call about a gas leakage near the municipal school at Hodi Bungalow in the morning.
Fire fighters rushed to the spot along with a team of technicians from GGCL. Within half an hour, the department received another call from Lalmiyan Masjid in Rampura regarding a huge explosion.
Pankaj Patel, chief fire officer (CFO) said, "There was a leakage in the PNG line from Hodi Bungalow to Rampura, which led to the vapour cloud explosion. The entire supply of natural gas was stopped immediately in the entire area to prevent further explosions."
Patel added, "Four victims have been admitted to SMIMER hospital while other six victims were relieved after primary treatment.

Gas Pipeline Explodes Prior to Quake on Russia's Black Sea Coast (Dec 26)
A gas pipeline explosion and mild earthquake has struck near the Russian Black Sea resort city of Sochi, the second earthquake in the area in the past three days.
On Sunday, a 5.5 magnitude earthquake was recorded 47km (29mi) southwest of Och'amch'ire, Georgia. The epicenter of the earthquake was 170.2 km (106.2 miles) off the coast of Sochi according to Earthquake Track.
The epicenter of Wednesday's earthquake, which measured 5.3 in magnitude, was roughly 20 miles east of Sunday's epicenter. Striking at 0242 local time (2242 GMT), the quake caused little or no damage to buildings.
"The Emergencies Ministry servicemen scoured through the city districts, bridges and electrical cables, there was no damage," Gogoleva said, adding that the epicentre of the quake was some 150 kilometres (93 miles) off Sochi in the Black Sea."
Shortly before the earthquake, a gas pipeline ruptured and exploded near Sochi. Gogoleva told the Moscow Times that the cause of the explosion is unknown at this time. The city's power plant switched to fuel oil to power the city's electrical grid.

Pipe Explodes Near Texas Natural Gas Plant
A pipe explosion near a natural gas plant in Goldsmith created an approximately 250-foot fireball and burned about 4 miles of natural gas Wednesday evening.
A pipe explosion near a natural gas plant in Goldsmith created an approximately 250-foot fireball and burned about 4 miles of natural gas Wednesday evening.
The explosion happened at about 6 p.m. at a pipe about 30 yards from Highway 158 near the main entranceway to DCP Goldsmith Plant, said Odessa Fire and Rescue Senior Captain Kevin Jackson, acting as battalion chief. No one was injured.
The cause of the explosion remained unclear two hours later.
The pipe was 16 inches in diameter and funneled gas at 500 psi belonging to the company West Texas Gas, Jackson said. The company is headquartered in Midland.
Responding firefighters found and contacted the gas company, which shut off supply to the pipe, Jackson said. The fire, which destroyed a nearby welding shed, burned out by about 7:30 p.m.
The blast and fire destroyed 12 to 15 utility poles and trashed the road, Jackson said.
"It looks like the moon," he said. "There are caliche and rocks all over. There are rocks in the road the size of bowling balls."
Five OFR units responded, along with West Odessa and Goldsmith volunteer firefighters. Troopers with the Texas Department of Public Safety blocked of roads nearby such as Gulf Avenue.

Thousands of Natural Gas Leaks Found in Boston
Beneath the streets of Boston is an aging network of natural gas pipelines that delivers fuel to heat homes and power appliances but also threatens to feed fires and even cause explosions. Highlighting the need for repairs, a new study detected more than 3,300 natural gas leaks throughout the city.
Researchers from Boston University and Duke logged 785 road miles (1,263 kilometers) in the city, driving around in a GPS-equipped car with a device to measure methane, the chief chemical component of natural gas. The team discovered 3,356 separate natural gas leaks — some of them potentially hazardous.
“While our study was not intended to assess explosion risks, we came across six locations in Boston where gas concentrations exceeded the threshold above which explosions can occur,” Nathan Phillips, associate professor at BU, said in a statement.
The leaks were associated with old cast-iron underground pipes and were distributed evenly across all neighborhoods, regardless of socioeconomic differences, the researchers said. Their findings were detailed online this week in the journal Environmental Pollution.
Concerns about aging natural gas pipelines aren’t unique to Boston. Each year, pipeline failures cause an average of 17 deaths, 68 injuries, and $133 million in property damage across the nation, according to the U.S. Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration.

Another fatal gas explosion today - in China.
Gas Explosion at Restaurant in Northern China Kills 14 People, Injures 47 (Nov 23) -
http://www.vancouversun.com/news/explosion+restaurant+northern+Chin...
An explosion at a restaurant in northern China has killed 14 people and injured 47.
The government of Shouyang county in Shanxi province says on its official website that a gas leak caused the blast and triggered a fire Friday evening at the Xinyangyang hotpot restaurant.
The official Xinhua News Agency says six people were killed at the scene and eight others died at a hospital. Seventeen people were severely injured.
Xinhua says the explosion was so powerful that it shattered the windows of the two-story building that houses the restaurant and shops.
Hotpot dining is popular among Chinese, with diners gathering around a steaming pot in which they cook meats and vegetables.
Restaurant explosions are common in China, though a death toll this high is rare.

More on the gas explosion in Springfield, Massachusetts.
"The blast levels 2 buildings, blew out all windows in a three-block radius, and prompting emergency workers to evacuate a six-story apartment building that was buckling.
People were knocked off their feet by the blast, NBC affiliate WWLP-TV reported.
Those injured in the blast included nine firefighters, four gas company employees, two police officers, 1 water and sewage employee and two civilians.
Two hospitals treated the injured people, though none were in critical condition, officials said.
The blast was heard for miles and one of the buildings destroyed was a strip club that had just been evacuated due to a strong natural gas odor."

Several injured at Springfield MA strip club explosion.
http://www.cnn.com/2012/11/23/us/massachusetts-explosion/index.html...Eighteen people were injured early Friday evening when a gas-fueled explosion ripped through a strip club in the western Massachusetts city of Springfield, the city's mayor said.
Those in the club and nearby buildings had evacuated by the time the blast occurred at 5:25 p.m., Mayor Dominic Sarno said.
Nine of those injured were Springfield firefighters, four were gas company employees, two were police officers, two were civilians, and one was a municipal water and sewer department employee, the mayor said. Earlier, a police sergeant said more civilians were hurt and all were transported to Baystate Medical Center or Mercy Medical Center.
"Through God's mercy, we are not aware of any fatalities," Sarno said.
People as far away as South Hadley, 10 miles north, felt the blast.
Video showed that the facade of one building was shredded by the blast, while glass from blown-out windows littered streets blocks away.
Besides the leveled multistory structure that housed Club Scores -- which Sarno referred to as "ground zero" -- 12 buildings suffered significant damage, and at least a dozen others had collateral damage, Springfield fire Commissioner Joseph Conant said.
Columbia Gas spokeswoman Sheila Doiron told reporters Friday that a call about a strong gas odor came in at around 4:20 p.m.
The gas company's employees were on site in about 25 minutes, and they shut off the gas to the building soon thereafter, according to Conant. The explosion came 15 minutes later.
Overhead video from CNN affiliate WWLP showed what appeared to be police lights flashing near an otherwise calm scene until a huge burst of fire soared into the sky. That was followed by thick plumes of black smoke.
Within hours, Conant said firefighters were able to bring "the fire situation ... under control."
The officials who spoke at Friday night's news conference said they had no knowledge that any of the injuries suffered in the blast and its aftermath are life-threatening.
None of the eight patients brought into Baystate Medical Center are in critical condition, said hospital spokeswoman Jane Albert. She said hospital officials have been told they no more injured are coming.
Authorities are working to determine what caused the fire, with state authorities assisting local first responders -- including members of the city's arson and bomb unit -- at the scene. Doiron, from Columbia Gas company, said "there have been no measurable readings of natural gas at this point" that might indicate more widespread leaks.
A shelter has been set up at nearby Central High School for anyone displaced by the explosion and evacuations in the vicinity, said Sarno.

Firefighters baffled by gas explosion

Gas explosion in Teignmouth Credit: ITV Westcountry
Firefighters and investigators from the gas company are baffled by a fire which broke out this morning near industrial units in Teignmouth.
Roadworkers noticed flames licking out from under the Tarmac on the A381 while they were digging. Nearby businesses were evacuated and emergency services were called.
So far they haven't been able to work out what happened. There is a low pressure gas main under the road, as well as low voltage electric cables but it's possible there was simply an old pocket of gas trapped under the road surface which has now escaped.
Investigators are now digging bore holes in the road surface to try to find if there is any more gas trapped or leaking. The road will be closed for some time.

Gas Leaks Discovered Beneath Israel’s Seafloor
cientists have discovered beneath the seafloor in northern Israel's Haifa Bay, a vast system of vents is leaking gassy emissions into the eastern Mediterranean Sea. If disturbed, this undersea reserve could disrupt the surrounding marine environment and might even unleash greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. At the outset of their study, researchers from the University of Haifa found more than 700 pockmarks (some at least 200 feet, or 60 meters, across) in the seabed that they suspected were active gas springs. Further geophysical investigation indicated these indentations were actually connected to a 27-square-mile (72-square-kilometer) reserve on the continental shelf, which is letting some gas escape from relatively shallow depths between 121 and 367 feet (37 and 112 meters) below sea-level. the new findings suggest that gas deposits in continental shelves might be releasing more methane into the sea than previously thought, at least in the Mediterranean and possibly in other mid-latitude areas. The scientists are planning further expeditions to the springs to better understand of the type of gas seeping from this deposit and its influence on marine life near the seafloor.
