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

50 partially back open in Stateline after underground explosions

STATELINE, Nev. (KOLO)-- One lane of Highway 50 in each direction is open at Stateline after Sunday's underground explosions.

The Nevada Highway Patrol tweeted this photograph of an explosion aftermath on U.S. 50 in front of the Hard Rock Casino.

Sunday, NV Energy turned off electricity to get to electrical equipment that caused the explosions. That's because according to Douglas County Sheriff’s Office Capt. Joe Duffy, the potential remained for another explosion until the switch was de-energized. That allowed NV Energy to determine what damage was done.

The explosions knocked out power to 404 NV Energy customers Sunday morning, but by mid-Sunday afternoon, only five were still without power.

The 5:07 a.m. and 5:14 a.m. explosions April 1, 2018 were due to a bad power switch in the ground, Duffy said. There was also a natural gas leak in the area; Southwest Gas repaired that. Duffy said it wasn't clear if that gas leak was related to the explosion.

The explosions took place underground on U.S. 50 in front of the Hard Rock Casino. No injuries were reported

Six dead after storage tank explodes at Unipetrol site near Prague

Six dead after storage tank explodes at Unipetrol site near Prague

March 22, 2018

Six people were killed by an explosion that ripped through a storage tank at a production site of sole Czech refiner and petrochemical producer Unipetrol on the morning of March 22.

The deaths—confirmed by rescue officials—occurred during the cleaning of the tank by new contractors when an electrical short circuit ignited gas, according to local government officials who spoke to Czech media outlets including news server idnes.cz.

The tragedy at Unipetrol’s production complex in Kralupy nad Vltavou north of Prague is another blow to the company which has been steadily recovering healthy petrochemical sales since it reconstructed its ethylene steam cracker, destroyed by an August 2015 explosion at Unipetrol’s main production site in

Litvinov in North Bohemia near the German border. The plastics producer was also in May 2016 knocked out of its stride by a blast at the Kralupy site which wrecked facilities including petroleum conversion technology.

Photo: Il Giornale

Three people lost their lives and another two were injured in an explosion in Catania on Tuesday.

Italian media reported that two of those who died were firemen.

The explosion is believed to have started from a gas leak in a bike repair shop in Via Garibaldi.

When neighbours noticed a strong smell of gas coming out of the shop, they called the fire brigade. But as soon as the firefighters attempted to cut the chain to enter the shop, a spark was released and the entire building went up in flames.

Five firefighters had to be taken to hospital but two died shortly after arriving at Vittorio Emanuele Hospital. Another two suffered extensive burns and were admitted to Garibaldi Hospital. One of them also suffered a head injury, while the other has been diagnosed with a pulmonary trauma, Italian media reported.

The fifth firefighter suffered shock.

The charred body of another victim, a man over 80 who lived in the building, was found in the rubble.

An inquiry is being held.

Two people, one with serious burns and another with minor injuries, have been rushed to hospital for treatment while a third person is still missing. 

One concerned bystander described how bits of flaming debris such as "metal lids on buckets" were "blowing out of the roof". 

Jesse Bailey, who works next door, said the smoke billowing from the plant "smells like sulfur".

errifying eyewitness video and photos show a column of flames bursting into the air, leaving thick black smoke billowing in its wake. 

The State Fire Marshal's Office is probing the cause of the fire, NBC DFW reported. 

The chemical plant and a nearby lumber yard have been evacuated.

Tri-Chem Industries provides "specialty chemical and blending" services to customers in Texas and the Gulf Coast region, according to its website.

Two hurt in third SSGC supply line explosion in 20 days

Sat March 10, 2018

Two men suffered burn injuries as a Sui Southern Gas Company (SSGC) supply pipeline passing under a general store in Hijrat Colony exploded on Friday. Civil Lines police station SHO Waqar Tanoli said there was an explosion in a shop in Hijrat Colony’s Sector D after which a fire erupted inside the store.

He said there were two men present inside the shop at the time of the incident, both of whom survived with minor injuries. The injured men, one of whom was identified as Shakeel, were rushed to the Dr Ruth Pfau Civil Hospital Karachi for treatment and were later discharged.

The officer said a fire department team responded promptly to douse the ensuing blaze. However, there was damage to the property and the goods. This was the third SSGC supply line explosion reported in the city within a span of 20 days.

On March 7, a girl and a boy were injured when a gas pipeline exploded inside a barber shop in Shanti Nagar, Gulshan-e-Iqbal. The injured were a 15-year-old boy, Faizan Mustafa, and a seven-year-old girl, Raheela Yaseen. Both children survived the explosion without serious injuries.

Page One Anchor: Three die as chemical reactor explodes at industrial unit in Tarapur

Blast late on Thursday night triggered fires and explosions in neighbouring factories and fire-fighting continued on Friday; at least 3 workers critically injured

Published: March 10, 2018 6:36 am

Three workers died and 15 were injured in a massive explosion in a reactor plant of a chemical factory in the Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation (MIDC) industrial area in Tarapur, over 100 km from Mumbai late on Thursday night. The police on Friday registered a case of accidental death as operations to control the fire, which spread across six factories becaus of the blast, continued till Friday night. At least three workers are critically injured.

The blast occurred at 11.10 pm on the first floor of Novaphene Specialties Pvt Ltd. High pressure and high temperature reportedly led to an uncontrolled and unstable solvent reaction, causing a explosion. “The vibrations were felt several kilometers away. It felt like an earthquake. Windowpanes in Boisar police station (about 3 km from the spot) also broke,” said Yogesh Chauhan, who holds additional charge of senior inspector at MIDC police station. Local people recounted that the explosion was followed by over 20 smaller explosions as the fire spread to chemical tankers of adjoining factories.

From Novaphene, the fire spread to other units — Aarti Drugs, Prachi Pharmaceuticals Pvt Ltd, Bharat Rasayan, Unimax Chemicals and Darbar Industries within two hours. Workers from those in Aarti, Prachi, Novaphene and other factories managed to escape. MIDC police at Tarapur have registered an FIR against Bhabha Atomic Research Center (BARC) under Section 56 and 57 of Disaster Management Act 2005 after collector’s instructions.

The Collector asked BARC to provide fire brigade service on Thursday night and allegedly got no aid from BARC in the Tarapur plant fire case. “It is violation of the National Disaster Act. We expected atomic plant to aid in fire fighting,” he told The Indian Express. In addition, the collector has ordered a magisterial inquiry into the blast. Of the 15 injured, eight have been admitted to Vikas Hospital, five in Thunga and two in Anand Hospital. The deceased — Alok Nath, Chandpratap Agadia and Pintu Kumar Gautam — have been identified as workers of Aarti Drugs.

chloride gas was added to it. The solvent became active reactive. When temperature and pressure rose, it became uncontrollable and led to a ‘vapour cloud’,” said Surendra Dhawad, joint director at DISH. The quantity of solvents in the reactor is yet to be ascertained.

Documents accessed by The Indian Express from Maharashtra Pollution Control Board (MPCB) showed that Novaphene Ltd received permission to handle hazardous waste in 2015 up to 2020 for manufacture of alcohol acetate, dimethyl isosorbide, octyl sallicylate, Grignard reagents, ethyl hexyl glycerine and esters. Police are investigating whether excessive quantity was added to the reactor. “We are also checking if there were procedural violations,” said police inspector Chauhan of the MIDC police.

Police findings suggest seven workers at Novaphene Ltd fled the building as soon as they realised the reactor was becoming
unstable and was beyond their control. The explosion’s intensity shattered window panes in the entire lane, ripped overhead cables, damaged walls and started the fires in the adjoining factories where tankers filled with solvents kept exploding till 5 am on Friday.

One of the workers, Sandeep Agadia (21), was on the second floor of Aarti Drugs when the explosion occurred. “We could smell gas leak and see smoke before the blast. Suddenly, one side of the wall exploded and a shower of bricks flew at us. All of us ran out,” he said. His younger brother Chandpratap (19) was sipping tea with Pintu and Alok on the first floor. The blast’s impact killed them. The post-mortem findings showed they suffered no burn injuries. “Injuries were blunt trauma, they were blown by the blast’s impact,” a police officer said.

The three were taken to Tarapur primary health centre for post-mortem. While Chandpratap’s body was taken to their village in Palghar, Alok and Pintu’s bodies are slated to be transported to Madhya Pradesh where their families live. Novaphene’s website shows that it manufactures specialty chemicals and cosmetic preservatives, dealing in high purity acid and acid anhydrides. Nonaphene has a manufacturing unit in Dahisar. Prachi Ltd is an iodine salt manufacturer, while Aarti Drugs manufactures vitamins and antibiotics and owns eight factories in Tarapur MIDC. These three units suffered the maximum damage. Eight fire engines and six water tankers were initially rushed to the spot. According to Palghar collector Dr Prashant Nanaware, fire engines were also provided by Reliance Thermal, the Vasai Virar Municipal Corporation and the Tarapur Atomic Power Station. The call went to the fire brigade at 11.23 pm and the fire engines reached the spot by 11.36 pm. “The fire was too big to control. We allowed the solvents to burn out on their own to prevent another explosion,” said Anand Parab, the fire station master. According to Uday Dange, the manager at Unimax where fire gutted half the factory, standard operating protocol lapses are suspected to have caused the explosion. “Chemicals are always supposed to be handled with care. There must have been some negligence,” he said.

Throughout Friday, thick black smoke coupled with combination of green and orange vapours escaped from the burning factories. MPCB official Manish Holkar said, “A mixture of various solvents from different factories have caught fire. We know it is toxic but cannot comment on which gas is being released as the blasts were back to back.” Local people, police and the fire brigade took to face masks in the entire neighbourhood surrounding the blast site. Tarapur MIDC has over 1,100 chemical factories. Collector Nanaware said he had asked for a safety audit of all factories three months ago. “The report is still pending,” he said.

At least four people are critically injured as huge explosion obliterates Londis shop and the flat above in Leicester with passers-by battling to free casualties from the mangled wreckage with their bare hands

At least four people have been taken to hospital in a critical condition after a convenience store in Leicester was completely destroyed in a massive explosion.

A Londis store and the flat above it on Hinckley road were completely obliterated in the explosion with a spokesman from Leicester Royal Infirmary confirming that four patients were admitted to the hospital.

Emergency services rushed to the scene at 7.10pm and witnesses writing on social media said that locals were seen using their bare hands to free people from under chunks of rubble.

The destroyed building is in a terrace of shops, to the left of a takeaway called TJs, near a post office.

A Leicester Fire and Rescue spokesman said it was a 'pancake collapse'. 

One witness wrote on social media that emergency services were seen searching for people under chunks of rubble. 

All four casualties have been taken to Leicester Royal Infirmary, the ambulance service said in a tweet.

A hazardous area response team and ambulance crews remain at the scene in Hinckley Road in the west of the city, it added.   

In a statement, Leicestershire police said: 'Businesses and homes in the immediate vicinity have been evacuated and those affected have been taken to Hinckley Road police station as a temporary measure.

'Four people have been taken to hospital and we await an update on their injuries.

'The cause of the explosion will be the subject of a joint investigation by the police and Leicestershire Fire and Rescue Service.

'We would ask that the media and public do not speculate about the circumstances surrounding the incident but at this stage there is no indication this is terrorist related.'

At 7.20pm, Leicestershire Police tweeted: 'There has been a major incident on Hinckley Road, Leicester. All emergency services are currently dealing with this. Carlisle Street and part of Hinckley Road have been closed Please avoid the area.' 

The cause of the explosion is unclear at the present time but it is being treated as a major incident. 

According to reports, the explosion took place at Western Park Store, a Londis store on the street with a bus stop in front of it. Footage of the explosion has been circulated online

Photos show that the store has been completely destroyed in the blast, with flames engulfing the wreckage.

60 homes have been reportedly evacuated in the aftermath. 

Leicestershire Fire and Rescue Service have confirmed a search and rescue operation is under way.
