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

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

18 Injured in Gas Explosion at St. Petersburg Restaurant

The Moscow Times
A powerful explosion at a Chinese restaurant in St. Petersburg on Friday morning injured 18 people and made two apartments above the restaurant uninhabitable, Interfax reported.

Police suspected a gas leak as the most likely cause of the blast.

Thirteen people were hospitalized with injuries from the explosion and a resulting fire. Five others were wounded but refused to be hospitalized.

The blast also partially destroyed the staircase on the lower floors of the apartment building located above the restaurant.

Police have opened a criminal case against the restaurant for failing to meet safety standards.

Chemical factory blast kills 13 in northern China

Published: February 28, 2012

An explosion ripped through a chemical factory in North China on Tuesday, killing at least 13 people and injuring 43, the government said of the latest industrial accident to strike the nation.

BEIJING: An explosion ripped through a chemical factory in North China on Tuesday, killing at least 13 people and injuring 43, the government said of the latest industrial accident to strike the nation.

The impact of the blast, which occurred near Shijiazhuang city, capital of Hebei province, was felt in at least three nearby villages, the official Xinhua news agency said.

Photographs posted on the Internet purportedly of the blast site showed a large crater surrounded by debris. The walls of several workshops that surrounded the site had been destroyed.

The cause of the blast is still under investigation and rescue efforts are ongoing, the State Administration of Work Safety said on its website.

The casualty toll came from a preliminary report, the administration said, indicating it could rise.

Safety standards are regularly flouted in China, and workplace accidents remain common despite repeated pledges by the government to improve regulations and oversight.

Nearly 50,000 people died in work-related accidents in the first nine months of 2011, the administration said earlier.

Last week, 13 workers were killed at an explosion at a northeast China steel factory, while three people died in a gas leak at a steel plant in eastern China’s Nanjing city, state press reports said.

Shoddy construction.....a possible suicide attempt......all in all Russia is seeing gas explosions on a daily basis.

MOSCOW (AP) — A section of a nine-story apartment building in a southern Russian city has collapsed in an explosion possibly caused by natural gas, injuring at least 12 people.

Rescue workers are searching through the rubble for more possible victims. Russian news agencies, citing emergency officials, say at least 11 people who lived in the building haven't been accounted for.

The explosion occurred Monday in Astrakhan, 1300 kilometers (800 miles) southeast of Moscow.

The ITAR-Tass news agency quoted regional Investigative Committee spokeswoman Aanna Konyaeva as saying that the blast first blew out a lower section of the building. As people rushed to help, the upper six stories collapsed.

Explosions of gas cannisters in Russian residences and businesses are common.

Winthrop fire chief: ‘Lucky day’ for 3 who fled home explosion

Thursday, February 23, 2012 -

A father and his two daughters fled their house in Winthrop this morning after multiple explosions sparked heavy fire and left the structure buckled and listing, authorities said.

A National Grid gas truck is on the scene at 627 Pleasant St. The gas line to the house was shut off.

The father was taken to Mass General Hospital with first- or second-degree burns on face and hands. His wife was at work at the time, and raced home. She and her daughters took refuge on an MBTA bus at the scene.

The safe escape of the three inside was the “best possible outcome,” said Winthrop Fire Chief Paul Flanagan. “It’s their lucky day.”

Flanagan said the origin of the fire is undetermined but there is “no reason to believe it is suspicious.”

Neighbors said they heard an explosion and felt their own homes shake around 8 a.m.

“It shook the whole house,” said next-door neighbor Kenneth O’Connell, 37, who said he looked out of his bedroom window and saw the whole side of his neighbor’s house blown off. “It was like a bomb went off.”

Fire officials arrived to find flames shooting out of the two-story yellow house. It appears the initial explosion was in the basement, Flanagan said.

An hour after the explosion, debris littered the home’s front lawn and driveway and the street remained filled with firetrucks and firefighters.

Ecuador mine explosion leaves 5 dead, 15 injured
 February 23, 2012 08:25 AM

 
QUITO (Xinhua) -- At least five miners were killed and another 15 seriously injured Wednesday in an explosion in the southern Azuay province, local civil defense authorities said.
 
The explosion, which was caused by a gas accumulation, took place at about 1000 local time (1500 GMT) in a mine located in the Ponce Enriquez de Azuay canton in the western part of the province, some 190 kilometers from the city of Cuenca.
 
The 15 people who were injured are all "in a serious medical condition because they had asphyxia symptoms."
 
The explosion caused part of the mine structure to collapse, crushed the five miners to death on the spot by the rubble and wood that fell right on top of the place where they were working.
 
Federico Auquilla, Deputy Minister of Non-Renewable Resources, ordered an immediate suspension of all activities in the mine to protect the health and life of the miners.
 
Ecuador has 1,349 "artisanal and small-scale mines" of which 178 are located in Azuay province, according to a 2011 mining census.
 
In a similar incident in 2010 four miners died after they were trapped in a collapsed gold deposit in Portovelo in the southwestern province of El Oro.

FIVE ALARM JERSEY CITY (US) BLAZE CAUSED BY GAS LEAK

Happened yesterday. New Jersey is in the stretch zone.  Last year Pennsylvania kicked off with alot of gas explosions and fatalities but NJ will see more of the same.

Aftermath of Jersey City five-alarm fire

The 5-alarm blaze that devastated the lives of shop owners and tenants in a building off Jersey City's McGinley Square yesterday is believed to have started behind a laundromat clothes dryer and was likely fueled by a gas leak, officials said.

"The manager at the laundromat heard a boom and when she went to investigate she found fire behind a dryer," Fire Director Armando Roman said today of the raging 5 p.m. blaze that gutted the two-story building at Monticello and Fairmount avenues.

A second-floor resident told firefighters he too heard an explosion and ran from the building, Roman said.
