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

  • Some of the injuries are serious

(CNN) -- A gas main explosion in Philadelphia Tuesday evening killed one utilities worker and injured five other people, a fire department official said.

Philadelphia Gas Works employees were responding to a gas main break in the city's Tacony neighborhood when the explosion occurred, fire department spokesman Jim Smith said.

"They were trying to control it and found a source of ignition," according to Smith, who said four PGW employees and a firefighter were among the injured. He said some of the gas workers' injuries were serious.

Seven People Narrowly Escape Moline Fire

Posted on: 7:13 am, May 6, 2013, by Jonathan Ketz, updated on: 07:40am, May 6, 2013

Seven Moline residents are out of their home after a fire destroyed it early Monday.

It happened at the corner of 17th Street and 12th Avenue at about 3:30 a.m. Crews were on scene putting out a gas meter that exploded three hours later. The gas explosion happened on the northeast side of the home. The fire department is not confirming whether the explosion is what caused the fire.

Smoke was seen billowing out of the home for a half an hour later. The fire department says they will have a lot of work to do to clean this up the rest of the morning.

“We’re going to wait until we get the gas meter and the gas utility shut off to that structure, so that the gas is not burning to that building anymore,” Moline Fire Fighter Ike Sederstrom said. “Then we’ll get some heavy equipment in, and take that structure down.”

All seven people were able to escape from the fire. There were still 170 Mid American customers in Moline without power as of 7 a.m. Both west and east bound traffic is blocked off at 12th Avenue and 17th Street.

1 injured after East Toledo natural gas explosion

An unidentified Columbia Gas of Ohio employee was being treated today at Mercy St. Vincent Medical Center for burns to his face after natural gas from an underground pipeline caught fire and flared up at him about 11:45 a.m.

The accident occurred in the 800 block of Utah Street, an East Toledo residential neighborhood.

Columbia Gas has no reason to believe the worker veered from normal safety procedures the utility has established for when repairs are made to underground pipelines.

"It's very rare, but it happens sometimes," Chris Kozak, Columbia Gas spokesman, said, noting that pipeline repairs are a risky business under the best of circumstances.

A couple of nearby homes were evacuated as a precaution, but residents were allowed back inside once Toledo firefighters and Columbia Gas officials had the scene secured.

The employee is part of a crew that was making repairs to an old, 4-inch-wide pipeline that had developed a small leak. He was in a hole where the pipeline is located, about four feet deep, Mr. Kozak said.

The utility spokesman described the injury as "serious, but not life threatening." Two police officers said the man was able to walk to the ambulance on his own power, holding his face.

Mr. Kozak said he was not sure if Columbia Gas would be releasing the man's name.

The event was described by Mr. Kozak as a flare-up, not an explosion. Officials aren't sure what sparked it, he said.

More may be known once fire water is pumped out of the hole, Mr. Kozak said.

Officials have described the injuries as second-degree burns

Oil tank explosion forces evacuations near Baton Rouge

DENHAM SPRINGS, LA – A fire in the sky. No, we`re not talking alien abductions!

This is far more believable, but probably just as frightening.

An oil tank ruptured and exploded near Baton Rouge, scaring the bejeezus out of nearby residents.

“We heard a big explosion and come up over there and they said one of the oil tanks had exploded and it almost knocked my wife down. Yeah man, it was kinda crazy. She didn’t know what was going on, she thought somebody had just pushed her down you know,” said Corey Downing.

“I was sitting reading and a big boom went off and I knew it wasn’t thunder and lightning, so I come outside and looked and the tank farm down the road blew up,” said Bill Tierney.

State emergency officials say 30 homes were evacuated, but no one was hurt.

Officials are just going to let the fire burn itself out.

Once it’s out, crews will be able to go in and investigate what caused the explosion.

A tank containing diesel fuel has exploded during maintenance work at Marathon Detroit Refinery, forcing a mandatory evacuation order for a nearby area. One employee has been injured in the blast, authorities said.

Reports of the explosion and fire came in just before 6 pm local time.

Authorities on the ground say the explosion injured an employee. The incident occurred during a maintenance check.

Marathon spokesman Shane Pochard tells the Detroit Free Press the small fire Wednesday morning was extinguished quickly and the worker had minor injuries.

The adjacent city of Melvindale however ordered a partial evacuation due to concerns over air quality from the fire rise. State police also closed ramps from I-75 to Schaefer in both directions.

“Police have blocked Fort Street off by I-75 south … oh my goodness … there’s an ambulance out here, a fireman standing outside, you know, it doesn’t look like they are trying to get close. They are not trying to go in there,” one listener told the local radio station.

A witness, Dan Taylor told the Detroit News that “I saw the fire ball. The whole top of the tank was on fire and you could see it melted.”

The fire erupted in one of the refinery’s smaller tanks, Pochard told the Detroit Free Press.

Marathon’s own fire crew were battling the flames, along with first responders from Detroit and surrounding areas. At least two trucks at the scene were streaming water and two trucks were streaming foam.

A HazMat team from the Detroit Fire Department and Senior Fire Chief Carl Smith were at the scene as well. The fire was extinguished just before 8 pm local time.

About 300 Marathon employees and additional 300-400 contractors work at the refinery, Peter Brokas, the head of security told the Detroit Free Press.

Two people are dead and at least nine others have been injured after an explosion, believed to have been caused by a gas leak, caused a building to partly collapse in the French city of Reims.

More than 100 rescue workers, firefighters and bomb and gas experts were deployed to the building in the subsidised housing complex that collapsed on Sunday morning in the city in the Champagne area east of Paris.

Reims mayor Adeline Hazan told France's BFM television that 'a very powerful explosion' had taken place but the cause was unclear.

Aftermath: Two people have been killed and at least nine others injured after an explosion caused part of a building to collapse in Reims, France

Natural gas leak caused north Toledo home explosion

Posted: Apr 25, 2013 1:48 PM EDTUpdated: Apr 25, 2013 11:18 PM EDT
TOLEDO, OH (Toledo News Now) -

Columbia Gas has confirmed that a natural gas leak was the cause of a home explosion in north Toledo Thursday afternoon.

MORE

Fire crews were called to a home on Huron Avenue near Bush Street in north Toledo just after 1 p.m. Thursday on a report of a fire. When crews arrived there was no fire, but the home was collapsed. Debris covered the area. The front door was found across the street.

"Just heard a big boom," said neighbor Craig Baldwin. "All of a sudden, all you heard was a big explosion...Whole house blew to smithereens."

The home is a rental property owned by United North, but was unoccupied at the time of the collapse. The most recent resident moved out only last week.

"We were told that there was some vandalism that happened," said Terry Glazer of United North. "We don't know if somebody disconnected a gas line or was trying to steal a furnace."

The Toledo Fire Department ordered a crane to the scene to remove wreckage to determine whether anyone was in the house, after it was suspected there may have been a squatter, but no one was found. 

Neighboring homes received some damage, as well, and residents are staying elsewhere for the night.

"Soon as I got to the top of the stairs, it knocked me down and blew me back," said Bobbi Lipkins.

The American Red Cross is providing food, clothing and shelter to Lipkins and eight other neighbors affected by the blast.

This is the dramatic moment a huge fireball bursts from a pavement, narrowly missing a passerby standing just yards from the blast.

The explosion in Pimlico Road in central London was said to have shaken nearby buildings and left a gaping crater at the side of the road.

Video footage shows one astonished bystander running from the scene as flames shot from the ground.

Eruption: Video footage shows the moment a fireball bursts out of the pavement, just yards from a pedestrian

A coal mine explosion has killed 18 people and injured 12 others in the northeast region of China.


Xinhua news agency quoted local authorities as saying the blast occurred in Helong city in Jilin province on Saturday.

The rescue operation ended after about 12 hours and a probe into the cause of the accident was under way, authorities said.

Steep rises in iron ore prices over the past several years have encouraged the development of mines with marginal ore quality and minimal safety standards in China.

China's mining industry is the most dangerous in the world. According to official figures, thousands of miners have been killed in accidents in recent years.

The Chinese government has repeatedly shut down hundreds of mines as part of efforts to improve safety standards.
