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

Three workers were killed in an explosion at an ethanol plant in Thailand's northeastern province of Khon Kaen, police said on Monday.
The three workers were repairing the lid of a wastewater tank at an ethanol plant which belongs to Thai Ethanol Power Plc in the province of Khon Kaen, 390 km (240 miles) from the capital Bangkok, said Police Lieutenant Colonel Sarawut Dansuk.
"It could be that there was some kind of gas that leaked out and caused sparks when they were welding the tank lid and that set off an explosion," he said.
"An autopsy showed they were killed by the impact from the explosion."
The three killed were Thai nationals, he added.
Police are investigating whether the ethanol company was responsible for the accident.

The fire after the failure of a transformer Sunday outside Talen Energy's Lower Mount Bethel Township plant was out by 10 p.m. but the plant won't return to normal operation for weeks, a company spokesman said Monday morning.
No one was hurt in the 7:40 p.m. incident but as the device failed it did make a loud noise which many in the area took for an explosion, spokesman Todd Martin said.
Residents up and down the Delaware River in Pennsylvania and New Jersey said the blast was followed by a sound similar to a roaring jet engine.
Talen Energy owns the gas-fired power generating plant in Lower Mount Bethel.
PPL Electric Utilities, which transmits electricity to customers, uses energy produced from the plant. PPL spun off its power-generating business to Talen last year.
The transformer belongs to Talen and is tied to its steam turbine operation, Martin said. After initially saying the plant was operating normally Sunday night, Martin on Monday morning said the plant will be offline for a few weeks as an investigation continues.
The plant is currently in "safe shutdown mode," he said.
It wasn't immediately clear why the transformer failed.
Firefighters called to Martins Creek plant
Firefighters were called Sunday night to the natural gas-fired plant along the Delaware River in Lower Mount Bethel Twp.
The ensuing fire was handled by plant employees and first responders, Martin said. Lower Mount Bethel Township firefighters were in charge at the scene, a Northampton County emergency dispatch supervisor said Sunday night.
Martin praised the effective response of the numerous volunteer firefighters.
Any possible environmental impact of the transformer failure was contained, Martin said. The plant is off Depues Ferry Road, along the Delaware River.
A transformer increases or decreases voltage. The device that failed is similar to transformers that can been seen on utility poles that limit voltage before electricity enters homes in residential neighborhoods, but this one was far larger.
The plant in Lower Mount Bethel was powered down during the event and electricity within the plant was restored, Martin said.
The plant provides power to the regional grid, but Martin wasn't certain if the incident had an impact on PPL customers. There is redundancy in the grid, so the loss of the plant's contribution will likely be handled as it would during planned maintenance, Martin said. Specific questions on the impact to the grid would need to be asked of the PJM Interconnection, he said.
While the plant isn't generating electricity, the company will check to see what else may need maintenance, according to Martin.
Joe Nixon, a spokesman for Allentown-based PPL, said none of the company's customers was affected by the incident and they won't be impacted by the shutdown.

Firefighters work to put out a fire in Tongi industrial area outside Dhaka, Bangladesh, Saturday, Sept. 10, 2016. (AP Photo/A. M. Ahad)A boiler exploded and triggered a fire at a packaging factory near Bangladesh’s capital on Saturday, killing at least 23 workers and injuring dozens, officials said.
Fire officials said that the explosion at the five-story Tampaco Foils Ltd. factory in the Tongi industrial area outside Dhaka was huge, and that the fire triggered by the blast spread quickly because flammable chemicals were stored at the factory.
At least six of the 14 people being treated for burns at Dhaka Medical College and Hospital were in critical condition, said Mohammed Bacchu Mia, a police official at the hospital. He confirmed that at least 23 people had died.
Local TV stations said about 50 people were injured in all. Television footage showed smoke billowing from the factory, with the fire engulfing part of the upper floors.
Factory safety is a major concern in Bangladesh, which has thousands of garment and packaging factories that supply products to global chains like Wal-Mart and H&M. A fire at a garment factory in a Dhaka suburb killed 112 workers in 2012. In 2013, a commercial complex near Dhaka housing five garment factories collapsed, killing 1,135 people, Bangladesh’s worst industrial disaster.
It took firefighters nearly five hours to bring Saturday’s blaze under control. Huge piles of burned materials and chemicals had to be removed from the building to prevent the fire from spreading further, officials said.
It was not immediately clear what caused the explosion, which occurred at around 6 a.m. Authorities have ordered an investigation.
Syed Mokbul Hossain, the owner of the Tampaco Foils factory, told the Bengali-language Prothom Alo daily that he was not sure when the boiler was last inspected.
He said around 75 people had been scheduled to work the overnight shift, which was to end at 7 a.m.
Saturday was the last working day at the factory before the workers were to go on leave for a weeklong holiday for the Islamic festival of Eid al-Adha, which falls on Tuesday.
The major factory accidents in 2012 and 2013 prompted Bangladesh’s government, global brands and the United Nations to work together to try to improve safety standards in the South Asian country’s factories.

Cantonment, FL (WALA) -
Escambia County officials confirm one person is missing from an explosion at the Airgas facility in Cantonment. We’re hearing reports that a body was found at the facility, but that has not been confirmed.
Escambia County Florida Emergency Management Agency responded to a possible explosion on Old Chemstrand Road around 12:15 Sunday.
It was initially believed to be an explosion at the Ascend Performance Materials Chemical plant. However, it was later determined the explosion had occurred at the Airgas facility on the same road.
According to a post on Twitter by Ascend, the Airgas plant is adjacent to Ascend, and the company supplies nitrous oxide to the Airgas.
The area is surrounded by neighborhoods. Several people took pictures and photos of yellow smoke coming from the plant.
“It felt and sounded as if a bomb had been set off,” said Tres Barrclough, who lives nearby. “I actually thought the windows were going to blow out. I came outside to check and see if there had been anything that hit the house and there wasn't. That's when I heard an alarm go off from the Ascend Plant, which is about a half a mile away from here.”
The Escambia County Public Safety Director, Mike weaver, said the yellow smoke was nitrous oxide. He explained there is no danger to the public.
The EMA website states: "Crews are on scene assessing the situation. At this time there is not off-site impact, and evacuating or sheltering in place is not necessary."
As we’ve reported, authorities say there is still one man unaccounted for. That man’s family waited outside the plant for hours, anxious and praying for good news.
Another post from Ascend stated all of its personnel and contractors had been accounted for.
There has been no word from Airgas on the situation.
Authorities say the explosion at the Airgas Facility happened in an isolated area and had no effect on the rest of the plant. Authorities also say there are no more threats to the area, and employees at the manufacturing plants nearby will continue working.
“Everything that possibly could have happened, has occurred. All the gas has been released,” said Weaver. “There will not be any subsequent explosions from this incident.”
FOX10 has asked several different agencies what the cause of the explosion was, but we haven’t gotten an answer yet. We’re told the investigation has been turned over to the state fire marshal.
We will keep you updated both on air an online at more information becomes available.
