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

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

A fire at a welding supply shop in northwest Houston shut down Highway 249 for about an hour Sunday night.

The highway reopened around 9pm.

Officials said the fire was at Technical Alloy and Industrial Gas Company on Highway 249 at Beltway 8.

We are told that employees at a nearby gas station heard a loud explosion and saw smoke, so they called 9-1-1.

Firefighters contained the blaze to inside the building. We have heard no reports of injuries.

Gas leaks cause Debenhams and Tesco evacuations

By Chris Caulfield
December 19, 2011

THE fear of a deadly gas explosion forced two of Staines' largest retail stores to shut on one of the busiest shopping days of the year.

On Sunday (December 18), both Tesco in Town Lane and Debenhams in High Street had to turn would-be customers away after gas was detected leaking into the buildings.

Emergency teams from the National Grid and a crew from Staines fire station were called to make both sites safe and repair the pipes, while police cordoned off Town Lane and large parts of the High Street as a safety precaution.

The first leak was detected at around 11am and forced the Tesco superstore to close to the public for 30 minutes, while its petrol forecourt was shut for two hours.

A leak in an 8in diameter pipe in Town Lane was discovered to be the cause.

The second incident at Debenhams happened later in the afternoon, with a smell of gas reported from the cellar area of the building.

Surrey Police said officers attended the scene shortly after 4.40pm "following reports of a serious gas leak in the vicinity".

A spokesman added: "A 200-metre exclusion zone including Thames Street, Church Street, Richmond Road, Clarence Street, Bridge Street, High Street and South Street was put in place.

"National Grid engineers isolated the source of the leak shortly after 6pm and the road closures were lifted at 6.25pm."

Apple supplier reports 61 injured in explosion at metal casing factory

http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/11/12/19/apple_supplier_report...

Explosion kills 2 at iPad manufacturing plant...  (another incident of explosion)

Apple supplier and manufacturing partner Pegatron said 61 workers had been injured as a result of an explosion at a subsidiary's metal casing factory in Shanghai, China.

Pegatron Chief Financial Officer Charles Lin reported the incident, noting that the facility in question was still under construction, according to Reuters. 23 workers were hospitalized after the gas explosion, which occurred on Saturday at a metal casing factory belonging to Ri-Teng Computer Accessory Co.

"The factory has not started operations yet. Part of the facility is still under pre-operation inspection and part is running trial production," he said.

Apple responded that it was looking into the matter.

"Our hearts go out to the people who were hurt in Songjiang. We are working closely with Pegatron to understand the cause of this accident," said spokeswoman Carolyn Wu.

Taiwan-based DigiTimes reported that Ri-Teng was expanding the facility in order to compete with rivals Catcher Technology and Foxconn over metal notebook casing orders. Industry sources told the publication that Pegatron will spend $300-400 million procuring computer numerical control (CNC) machines next year in hopes of becoming one of the top-three suppliers.

Notebook makers are said to have been frustrated by the limited supply of CNC machines, as Apple has commandeered most of the available capacity for its unibody Macbook chassis. Vendors have especially been interested in utilizing metal chassis for Intel's new ultrabook standard, but reports suggest that many have been unsuccessful in acquiring the necessary capacity.

Catcher has experienced its own recent setbacks to its China-based metal chassis production operations. In October, local officials ordered a factory in Suzhou to temporarily close because of odorous gas emissions. The supplier's Suzhou factory reportedly supplies 60 percent of the unibody enclosures bound for Apple's MacBook Pro and MacBook Air portables.

Apple's supply chain in China has come under scrutiny as a result of several recent high-profile incidents. In May, three employees were killed and 16 injured at a Foxconn factory producing iPad 2 units in Chengdu, China when a dust explosion occurred at the facility's "polishing plant." Foxconn has also been criticized because of the growing number of employee suicides that have occurred on its property.

Chinese environmental protection groups have been meeting with Apple to discuss concerns that its suppliers are taking advantage of loopholes to get away with excessive pollution. The Cupertino, Calif., company subsequently agreed to ask each of its suppliers that have been identified as gross polluters to reform. Pegatron, in particular, has been called out by environmental groups as being a flagrant polluter.

Maybe truth, maybe the blame game.  Posted anyway to be on the record.

Egyptian official: Attackers bomb gas pipeline for 10th time this year



Al-Masry Al-Youm

"Masked attackers blew up the Egyptian pipeline which supplies Israel and Jordan with natural gas early on Sunday, state-run company GASCO has announced. The tenth attack on the pipeline since the beginning of the year targeted the Sabeel region, south of the Egyptian city of Arish in the North Sinai Governorate.

Two IEDs were planted with 50 meters apart.

The last attack on the pipeline occurred on 28 November. Egyptian authorities have not released details of their investigations into the earlier nine attacks, only commenting that they were carried out by masked assailants using the same technique each time.



The pipeline has been under maintenance and inoperative since the November explosion, Magdy Tawfik, GASCO's director, said in a statement quoted by state-run news agency MENA.

Tawfik said the explosion occurred 15 km from Arish and did not leave any casualties.

Egyptian news reports have said attackers tend to use a four-wheel drive vehicle, enter a gas station, force out workers and plant explosives under the pipes before detonating them with remote control devices.



Egypt's 20-year gas deal with Israel, signed during the Mubarak era, is unpopular with many Egyptians.



Egyptian natural gas supplies to both Israel and Jordan have dropped sharply due to recurrent interruption caused by the explosions. Since the November attack, neither Jordan nor Israel had declared the resumption of supplies through the pipeline."

    I am looking for a clarification on what (on the surface) appears to be conflicting information about Michigan as one of the safer locations. The Zetas have repeatedly told us to avoid explosive materials, protect against the potential for explosions, to turn off natural gas lines, to not store gasoline, to not have propane tanks nearby, etc etc. They have also said, in the Safe Locations document, that Michigan is one of the safer areas to be. Yet the fact is that the Lower Peninsula of Michigan is one big natural gas deposit area. The first map on the list shows a "midcontinent rift system" (?) that runs north-south through the whole of the Lower Peninsula. The second shows all of the existing oil and gas wells in the state (mostly all are in the Lower Peninsula), and the third map shows all sources of energy production in Michigan. He notes that Michigan has more natural gas reserves than any other State in the Great Lakes region; the Antrim natural gas fields, in the northern Lower Peninsula, are among the largest in the Nation; Michigan has the most underground natural gas storage capacity of any State in the Nation. There is this ZT entry, saying that underground gas deposits are not exploding at present because they are not in contact with oxygen. How is it then that Michigan could be considered "safe" while sitting on top of such vast reserves of explosive materials? Will it be only where the actual wells are that could explode, while the rest of the underground reserves will stay safely in the ground (despite the magnitude of the earthquakes)? Are there some areas of the state generally safer than others as regards to the gas deposits? The Upper Peninsula has no gas deposits, but it also has no soil (being part of the Canadian Shield) which makes it less favorable for the Aftertime. Any comments and clarifications on what to expect in regards to large underground natural gas deposits will be greatly appreciated.

There is a difference between gas in pipelines and gas in the ground. Gas in the ground is not explosive as it lacks oxygen. Unless the ground is shattered so that the gas escapes AND is subject to a spark to set it off, it is NOT EXPLOSIVE. The same is true of methane gas, which escapes accompanied by the smell of rotten eggs now and then due to the rock layers shifting. Methane does not explode unless a spark sets it off, such as a lightning spark, otherwise it merely disburses into the atmosphere, diluting as it does so.

The oil fields in Iraq will not be a danger except for the fact that the ground will rupture, split open, and the oil being pumped will spill out on the ground. Michigan need only fear the pipelines coming across from the upper peninsula, which WILL rupture

Giant plumes of methane bubbling to surface of Arctic Ocean

Methane bubbles trapped in the arctic ice

Russian scientists have discovered hundreds of plumes of methane gas, some 1,000 meters in diameter, b.... Scientists are concerned that as the Arctic Shelfrecedes, the unprecedented levels of gas released could greatly accelerate global climate change.

Igor Semiletov of the Russian Academy of Sciences tells the UK's Independent that the plumes of methane, a gas 20 times as harmful as carbon dioxide, have shocked scientists who have been studying the region for decades. "Earlier we found torch-like structures like this but they were only tens of meters in diameter," he said. "This is the first time that we've found continuous, powerful and impressive seeping structures, more than 1,000 metres in diameter. It's amazing."

Semiletov said that while his research team has discovered more than 100 plumes, they estimate there to be "thousands" over the wider area, extending from the Russian mainland to the East Siberian Arctic Shelf.

"In a very small area, less than 10,000 square miles, we have counted more than 100 fountains, or torch-like structures, bubbling through the water column and injected directly into the atmosphere from the seabed," Semiletov said. "We carried out checks at about 115 stationary points and discovered methane fields of a fantastic scale — I think on a scale not seen before. Some plumes were a kilometer or more wide and the emissions went directly into the atmosphere — the concentration was a hundred times higher than normal."

ZetaTalk: Iraq Oilfields


Written May 29, 2010

Zetas said: "Hold the globe with the left hand on the N Pole, the right hand on the S Pole, and turn in opposite directions first this way, then back. The S Pole pulled back by a grab on the Atlantic Rift in the southern hemisphere with the N Pole held rigid has the Indio-Australian Plate plunging under the Himalayas and Africa likewise plunging into the void, East turning to SE. This does more than pull apart the African Rift, it pulls the entire oil rich Middle East into a skew. How is it that all that oil dropped into the cracks in the rock in that region, eons ago, during prior pole shifts? The rock was shattered, during just such torque maneuvers. Thus, where we stated that something would occur to pull victory from the jaws of the Bush/Blair coalition before the pole shift, something that would take the breath out of the body it would be so dramatic and unexpected, this region is ripe to present many surprises to those who would be kings in the Aftertime." Does that mean Iraq's oil fields will catch on fire soon?

Certainly at the time of the pole shift, and likely to be in evidence to some degree during any major rolling of the African continent. We hinted that major plate movement would be part of an 8 of 10 stage, and this is when this type of holocaust would likely to start emerging in Iraq.

West Deer Family Living With Explosive Situation

A West Deer Township family is living without heat and hot water due to concerns about high levels of methane and the potential for an explosion.According to the Valley News Dispatch, Peoples Natural Gas shut off service to Ashley and Luke Raynovich's Juniper Lane property on Tuesday.The company said the methane gas is coming from an abandoned mine.The couple and their children, ages ten and two, have no heat and no hot water in their home.Ashley Raynovich told Channel 11 News the problem with high methane levels began during the summer.The family had no gas service for two weeks in July while Peoples crews installed a pipe in their front yard to vent the fumes.That proved to be only a temporary fix and the situation is frustrating to the family."Are we safe in our home? We don't know. We don't know anything because no one wants to tell us anything," said Ashley Raynovich.Peoples and the Department of Environmental Protection are monitoring the methane levels.A DEP spokesman said the mine owner should be responsible for removing the gas.

Freeway explosion: Tanker truck blast shakes homes, businesses

Photo: Los Angeles County firefighters, with assistance from other agencies, battle to put foam on a gasoline tanker which caught fire and burned on the eastbound 60 freeway under the Paramount Blvd. bridge Wednesday afternoon. Credit: Brian van der Brug / Los Angeles Times A tanker truck explosion Thursday on the 60 Freeway -- closing the busy route indefinitely -- was felt by residents and workers in Montebello.

Miguel Osorio, 25, was helping customers inside a Chevron gas station when he heard two separate explosions. The first bang was loud but not very strong.  Still, it caused him to worry when he saw thick, black smoke bellowing in the sky.

Fearing a sister gas station might be on fire, Osorio called his colleague who worked at the establishment down the street.

PHOTOS: Fiery crash on the 60 Freeway

“It gave me a good scare,” the Montebello resident said.  “The fire looked like it was coming from that general area.”

Then the intensity from a second explosion caused the floor under his feet to vibrate.   

The Los Angeles County Fire Department asked Osorio to stop dispensing fuel while they evaluated the fire.  The station reopened 20 minutes later but customers didn’t return.  Authorities closed off the street and the offramp leading to the station.

But business picked up for his colleague.  Commuters stuck in traffic for hours stopped at the gas station to grab a bite to eat.

"The explosion most witnesses heard was the concrete exploding from the extreme heat," said Montebello Fire Chief Tim Wessell. Water in the concrete boiled, then popped, he said.

Wessell said the truck driver reported the rear trailer ablaze before he came to a stop under the Paramount Boulevard overpass. The fire escalated, causing extremely high temperatures and he was forced to abandon the truck before he could pull completely off to the side of the freeway.

The driver and a passenger were able to escape, authorities said.

A California Highway Patrol official said a passing motorist saw the flames and called 911.

The freeway was shut down between the 605 and 710 freeways, and it will be several hours before it reopens.

"Traffic isn't going to flow through here anytime soon," said CHP Officer Sal Gomez. "The bridge's integrity is something of great concern." 

Wessell said Caltrans officials will get in to examine the bridge once firefighters and hazmat experts determine it is safe. Several times since the initial blaze, the tank has reignited, he said.

“Nobody is getting gas, but inside it’s booming” said Mohammad Maithnoni, 29 of Cypress, also a manager at Chevron.

At least 1 hurt in gas explosion in Skokie building

At least one person was injured when a gas explosion blew out the front of a two-flat in Skokie this morning, officials said.

James Smith, 31, said he woke up at 8:30 a.m. and saw flames engulfing the building next door in the 8700 block of North Kimball Avenue.

A man was on the ground and appeared to be unconscious, Smith said. Rescue personnel took the man to a hospital while firefighters poured water on the building.

"I looked out the window and saw flames," said Smith, who did not hear an explosion. "All I could think of was,'‘Let me get my family out of here before this one goes up.' "

Smith said no one lived upstairs in the two-flat, and the woman who lived downstairs had recently moved out. "It's a good thing the woman who lived downstairs moved," Smith said. "She just had a baby."

It's unknown whether the injured man was in the building or walking by it, according to Skokie Deputy Fire Chief Jim Walters. The man's name, age and condition were not available.

"Based on the damage, we're assuming it was a gas explosion," Walters said. "We're still investigating."

Another witness said he saw smoke barrelling out of the building. "It looks like a big chunk of the wall is gone," said Jim Dorman, owner of Kenny the Kleener across the street from the building. "It seemed like an explosion."

He said plumes of smoke were billowing from the building and flames were about 10 feet over the building.
