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

An explosion rocks Iranian city of Isfahan

A explosion rocked the western Iranian city of Isfahan on Monday, the semi-official Fars news agency reported, adding that the blast was heard in several parts of the city. 

The reported incident occurred about two weeks after Gen. Hasan Tehrani Moghaddam was killed together with 20 other Guard members Nov. 12 at a military site outside Bidganeh village, 40 kilometers southwest of Tehran.

Iran operates a uranium conversion plant near Isfahan, It first went into operation in 2004, taking uranium from mines and producing uranium fluoride gas, which then feeds the centrifuges that enrich the uranium.

An explosion in Isfahan, Iran, where Iran has a uranium enrichment plant.


Since 2004, thousands of kilograms of uranium flouride gas were stockpiled at Isfahan and subsequently sent to the enrichment plant in Natanz.

Blast at restaurant in mall

KUALA LUMPUR - A restaurant at the ground floor of the Maju Junction Shopping Mall caught fire in an explosion believed to be due to a gas leak.

A distress call was received at about 11.25pm, said City Fire and Rescue Department operations assistant director Azizan Ismail.

"A fire engine from the Chow Kit fire station was immediately dispatched to the scene and found that the explosion occurred due to a leak in a gas pipe in the restaurant's kitchen.

"The severity of the explosion caused the glass doors and ceiling at the restaurant to break and collapse," he said yesterday.

Firemen then shut off the gas supply to the restaurant.

Azizan said a Hazmat (hazardous materials) team was also dispatched to the scene to assess the damage and inspect the gas valves and pipes.

"No one was injured during the incident as the shopping mall closes at 10pm daily," he said, adding that the restaurant was closed till further notice.

Mall general manager Albert Khoo said this was the first time such an incident had occurred since the premises opened in 2002.

Yesterday's was the second explosion at a shopping mall after a similar explosion rocked the Empire Shopping Gallery in September.

That explosion resulted in four people being injured.

Ascot homes evacuated after suspected gas explosion

Damage to the property on Sutherland Chase following the explosion. Picture taken by Murray Barter.
 
A number of neighbouring properties have been evacuated

Two people have been airlifted to hospital with burn injuries following a suspected gas explosion in Berkshire.

Thames Valley Police were called to a “badly damaged” detached house on Sutherland Chase, Ascot, at 12:23 GMT.

Engineers from National Grid, which is responsible for gas supplies in the area, attended the incident alongside Berkshire fire service.

A number of properties in Sutherland Chase and nearby Nash Gardens have been sealed off by police.

Neighbours said the front of the house was demolished, leaving the top of the stairs exposed and a large amount of rubble in front of it.

‘Windows shook’

The condition of the man and woman who were taken to hospital in Southampton is not yet known, but there are not believed to be any other casualties.

A spokesman for National Grid said engineers had cut off the gas supply to the property.

But he added it was “too early to speculate on the cause of the explosion at this time”.

A police cordon is in place and an investigation is under way while the road has been reopened.

Samantha Billingham, who lives on Sutherland Chase, said her husband witnessed the explosion.

“He heard a really loud noise and our windows shook,” she said.

Roger Crunden, who also lives in a nearby property, said: “It was how I imagined a bomb going off to sound.”

21 buildings damaged in fire sparked by gas leak

Two hurt in pre-dawn incident that rocks Mussaffah area in Abu Dhabi

  • The restaurant's window glasses and doors have been broken and damaged due to the powerful explosion.

Abu Dhabi: Twenty-one buildings in Mussaffah were damaged in a fire sparked by an explosion of a natural gas pipe in a building, Abu Dhabi Civil Defence said yesterday.

A spokesman said an eight-storey building caught fire yesterday early morning when a gas pipe exploded. The incident happened in a restaurant in the building. Two people, a man and a woman, were injured, and 21 buildings as well as 45 cars parked in the vicinity were also damaged.

"The operations room received an alert about the incident at 3.30am," said Colonel Shaikh Mohammad Bin Tahnoun Al Nahyan, director of the police directorate of the outer regions.

"The Civil Defence fire brigade, police and ambulances were immediately dispatched to the scene and were able to prevent the fire from spreading to other buildings," he added.

A imam of a mosque and a woman sustained minor injuries and were rushed to Al Mafraq Hospital after they were given first aid. He said the first two floors of the building, where the fire started and some of the shops were destroyed.

A leak in the gas pipe was the cause of the explosion.

"Buildings must be inspected every three months in cooperation with authorised gas companies and the civil service department," said Colonel Mohammad Bin Naseeb Al Nuaimi, Director General of Abu Dhabi Civil Defence

Al Nuaimi advised landlords and restaurant operators to follow safety procedures including regular inspections of gas tanks and pipes. He also called for installation of fire alarm systems.

Multiple cylinders

A witness who spoke to Gulf News on condition of anonymity said the problem was caused by the unsafe practice of connecting multiple cylinders to the main gas pipe.

"One of the cylinders leaked and exploded, causing other cylinders to explode," he said. Another witness said the main explosion occurred in a cafeteria.

An Indian resident, J.P.S., who was residing in one of the damaged buildings said he and family members panicked and thought there was an earthquake.

"Soon after the explosion, somebody rang our doorbell and alerted us about the fire. We ran outside the building but did not find any fire in our building but saw windows were broken everywhere," he said.

Hanif, an Indian owner of a restaurant in a small hotel three rows behind the building that caught fire, was upset that the glass windows and fixtures in his restaurant was entirely broken.

"We called the police who came and took pictures and left. No compensation was promised," he said. "We were lucky the incident happened at night or else several people would have been injured," he said.

‘Horrific to run out'

Egyptian gas supplies to Jordan were not affected by Friday's explosion  
   AMMONNEWS - Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Qutaiba Abu Qura said that Jordan’s natural gas supplies from Egypt were not affected by the explosion that hit an Egyptian pipeline on Friday morning.

The pipeline which provides Jordan with Egyptian gas was not affected by the blast, which targeted an empty gas pipeline, the minister told Petra.

Friday's blast targeted the pipeline which supplies the main station in Al Midan area, about 60 kilometers west of the town of Al-Arish in the north of the Sinai peninsula.

The blast did not start a fire because gas was not flowing through the pipeline at the time due to repair work from the previous attack, the Egyptian Natural Gas Company (GASCO) said.

Inquiry into gas plant explosion

Additional information on the Cork plant:

http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/ireland/2011/1126/1224308188692...

The Health and Safety Authority has started an investigation into an explosion at a gas bottling plant in Cork yesterday in which two men were injured.

The explosion at the Irish Oxygen Company plant at Waterfall on the southwest outskirts of Cork city happened at about 11.15am.

An oxygen cylinder exploded and two men suffered serious but non-life threatening injuries and were removed by ambulance to Cork University Hospital.

The men, who are both from Cork and aged in their 20s and 40s, are understood to have suffered blast-type injuries to their faces.

There were up to six people working in the plant at the time. The explosion which blew off part of the roof of the factory was heard over a mile away in Bishopstown and a major emergency plan was launched.

Firefighters were concerned that material from the asbestos roof had become airborne and a cordon was set up around the damaged factory building.

Local elderly residents were evacuated as a precautionary measure.

Another article as people take notice of Irans mysterious explosions lately.  A comment:

Coincidences .... bad management and maintenance .... no suitable parts because of sanctions .... espionage .... but a fivefold increase in explosions at refineries and gas pipelines since 2010 should be enough to raise alarm bells in Tehran.

Iran Has Too Many Mysterious Explosions

In this image taken from amateur video smokes rises from an accidental explosion at a Revolutionary Guard ammunition depot outside Bidganeh village,west of Tehran which killed at least 15 people on Saturday Nov. 12, 2001, officials said. The explosions occurred when military personnel were transporting munitions at a base, said Guard spokesman Ramazan Sharif. The base is located outside Bidganeh village, 25 miles (40 kilometers) southwest of the capital.

 

Mysterious Explosions Pose Dilemma For Iranian Leaders -- Washington Post


TEHRAN — A massive blast at a missile base operated by Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps nearly two weeks ago was the latest in a series of mysterious incidents involving explosions at natural gas transport facilities, oil refineries and military bases — blasts that have caused dozens of deaths and damage to key infrastructure in the past two years.

Iranian officials said the Nov. 12 blast at the missile base was an “accident,” and they ruled out any sabotage organized by the United States and its regional allies. The explosion on the Shahid Modarres base near the city of Malard was so powerful that it shook the capital, Tehran, about 30 miles to the east.

THE BLAME GAME.........

Egypt's gas pipeline to Israel attacked
Fri Nov 25, 2011 11:36AM GMT


Flames rise from an Egyptian pipeline distribution station after an attack in the Sinai Peninsula on July 12, 2011.
An explosion has hit an Egyptian pipeline supplying natural gas to Israel, making it the eighth assault on the energy route since February.


Witnesses said several masked saboteurs planted explosives under the pipeline, which is located around 60 kilometers (40 miles) west of the town of al-Arish in the north of the Sinai Peninsula, before fleeing, AFP reported on Friday.

The blast caused little damage and did not start a fire because little gas was flowing through the pipeline at the time due to repair work from a previous attack on November 10.

A recent opinion poll shows that an overwhelming majority of Egyptians oppose the terms of the country's gas deal with the Israeli regime.

According to a press TV poll conducted by Synovate, which was released on October 3, seventy three percent of the respondents said they were against gas exports to Israel. Only 9 percent of those surveyed said they agreed with the supplying of gas to the Israeli regime, and 12 percent had no opinion.

For Egyptians, the issue of supplying the Israeli regime with gas has always been a contentious one. Egyptians view Israel as an enemy and oppose engaging in any form of business with the regime.

Egypt's gas supply to Israel has been one of the main economic conditions of the US-sponsored 1979 peace treaty between the two sides.

Under a USD 2.5-billion export deal with Tel Aviv, signed in 2005, the Israeli regime receives around 40 percent of its gas supply from Egypt at a considerably low price.

6,000 people evacuated after chemical plant blast in China

By the CNN Wire Staff
updated 9:14 PM EST, Thu November 24, 2011
  • The explosion occurred at the Futian Chemical Company
  • A small amount of hydrogen chloride was detected in the air
  • An investigation of the blast is under way

(CNN) -- About 6,000 residents in southern China were evacuated Thursday after an explosion tore through a warehouse at a chemical plant, state media reported.

The blast took place around 2:35 p.m. at the Futian Chemical Company in the southern city of Guangzhou, the state-run Xinhua news agency reported, citing the local government.

A small amount of hydrogen chloride was detected in the air around the plant, Xinhua said. Hydrogen chloride is a colorless to lightly yellow toxic gas with a strong, irritating smell.

The news agency reported firefighters were still at the scene and that an investigation of the accident was under way.

On Saturday, 14 people died because of a chemical plant explosion in the eastern Chinese city of Xintai, state media said.
