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

I'm very happy to have this explanation regarding propane tanks.  This is critical information because I can now focus better on what to post.
I know that propane tanks have been exploding all over but this puts it into perspective.
Nancy has long warned of the dangers of having any type of gas in your home and YES, this is the reason why.  Thank you.....Moderators
Your comments to the “Gas explosions on the Rise” blog have been deleted because the article posted about a propane tank on a camper trailer which exploded is not related to earth changes, and EM Pulses are not causing pressure to build up and propane tanks to explode.
When a propane tank explodes due to earth changes it is because a rigid pipeline connecting the tank to a building, or to other tanks, or to a net work of some type has pulled apart because of earth movement causing a leak and resulting in an explosion, this is the same thing that happens with natural gas lines.
Notice how it says in this ZetaTalk gas lines in a home or along the street are rigid, that is what is causing explosions that rigid pipe line pulling apart whether it is natural gas or propane the result is the same.
A small propane tank on a trailer or only connected to a portable stove would not have rigid pipeline running through the ground being pulled apart by the earth movement. The small thanks themselves probably would not explode due to earth changes unless they were physically damaged by earthquakes.

Workers smelled gas ahead of B.C. mill blast

Roof of Babine Forest Products mill 'literally blew off,' worker tells CBC

At least 19 people were taken to hospitals with minor to serious injuries after an explosion and fire tore through the Babine Forest Products mill, east of Burns Lake, B.C., a health-care official said Saturday.

A worker who was not at the mill at the time of the blast told CBC News on Saturday that two people were still missing. Prince George RCMP Const. Lesley Smith said she could not confirm the numbers injured or whether any workers were unaccounted for.

Burns Lake RCMP responded to reports of an explosion at the mill around 8:15 p.m. PT Friday. Initial reports gave a higher injury count of 28, but Northern Health spokesman Steve Raper revised the number early Saturday.

Frankie Erickson, a longtime employee at the mill whose sons were working during the explosion but were unhurt, said workers had smelled gas the day before.

"My neighbour smelled gas last night on his shift," Erickson, his voice breaking, told CBC News in a telephone interview. "I hear the roof literally blew off … Twenty-nine years of work in the mill, and I've never seen an explosion like this."

Erickson said his neighbour and an assistant foreman are still missing.

"It supposed be [my neighbour's] day off but he wanted to work and he hasn't been home," said Erickson who broke down over the phone.

"He's just a kid, he's just a young boy. He's just starting his life. His mum is still waiting for her son to come home,"

Erickson also said workers were being pressured to work harder than ever.

"It shouldn't have happened," he said. "We averaged seven a shift and 10 hours a day and we had no coffee breaks [and] the mill ran for 20 hours straight."

It was a normal shift and the mill, 220 kilometres west of Prince George, was fully staffed when the blast occurred, according to police.

Northern Health initiated a Code Orange response, applied in situations where officials expect a large number of casualities.

Photos taken at the scene show the mill engulfed in flames.

Concerned family members crowded into Margaret Patrick Memorial Hall in Burns Lake to get updates.

The Lakes District Hospital in Burns Lake quickly became overwhelmed and several of the injured were taken to Prince George for treatment, while a few went to the hospital in nearby Vanderhoof.

Others had to be transported to hospitals as far away as Edmonton and Vancouver.

Gas blast sidelines half bus fleet

January 22, 2012
Off the buses ... Brisbane City Council buses at Virginia Bus Depot after a gas tank explosion yesterday morning.

Off the buses ... Brisbane City Council buses at Virginia Bus Depot after a gas tank explosion yesterday morning. 

BRISBANE is facing a back-to-school traffic nightmare tomorrow with half of the city's bus fleet still out of service following an explosion at a bus depot.

Almost 560 gas-powered buses were taken off the road after a gas tank ruptured about 1.15am yesterday. Workers at the Virginia depot were refilling gas cylinders on a bus when the tank exploded, turning into a projectile and striking another bus, the city council said.

No one was injured but all gas-powered buses were immediately taken out of service while investigations were carried out by engineers.

Fifteen high-frequency services, mostly in the northern and western suburbs of Brisbane, were running at a severely reduced rate yesterday, causing major delays for commuters.

More worrying is the hundreds of thousands of Brisbane state school students returning to school tomorrow morning and how a halved bus fleet could affect the road network in such already congested conditions.

A spokesman for lord mayor Graham Quirk said it was unfortunate the incident had occurred so close to the beginning of the school year.

''We're still hopeful that we'll be able to get some of the gas-powered buses out there for Monday but in the meantime we're contingency planning," he said. He said today's timetable would be able to run as normal but only because Sundays used half the bus fleet anyway. A decision would be made today as to whether the gas-powered buses would be put back on the roads tomorrow, he said.

Information on the bus timetables is available on the Translink website.

Couple’s terror after sewage pump explosion in Deeping St James

Workmen at Manor Way, Deeping St James, following a sewage pumping plant fire

Workmen at Manor Way, Deeping St James, following a sewage pumping plant fire

A COUPLE have spoken of their fear after a sewage pumping station outside their home exploded.

Accountants Trevor and Jenny Cheesman were enjoying a quiet night at home in Manor Way, Deeping St James when a loud bang shook the street at about 7pm on Monday.

They looked out of their window and saw the shed-like sewage pump switch box in front of their garden in flames.

Gas from a ruptured main in the box had been ignited by a spark from one of the pump’s electric switches, sending the door of the box flying down the road.

Mrs Cheesman said: “There was one hell of a bang. My first thought was my God, what the hell is that?

“When I looked outside the front of the box was 20 feet down the road and there were fireworks coming from the box. I couldn’t believe it, it was scary.”

Fire crews were on the scene within 10 minutes to deal with the blaze, which had spread to a fence belonging to the neighbouring Deeping St James Primary School.

But the initial explosion had ripped a hole in the pavement and mains gas was still burning.

Mr Cheesman added: “They couldn’t get it under control, they had to wait for the electricity to be switched off.

“Then we could smell gas. A crack in the path was alight but they couldn’t put it out in case gas built up somewhere else. They had to let it burn like a pilot light.”

Seven homes in the street were evacuated by police as a safety precaution. The Cheesmans spent the night with a friend in Baston. Mrs Cheesman was worried about what she might find in the morning.

She said: “I didn’t sleep well because it was still burning when I left. I didn’t know whether we would come back to a house or not.

“If there had been another explosion who knows what we would have been left with.”

Engineers from Anglian Water, Western Power Distribution and British Gas worked with the fire service through the night to isolate the leak and put out the fire.

Flames were extinguished by about 3.30am and families were allowed back into their homes by 6am.

Mrs Cheesman said: “It’s lucky it didn’t happen during the day or that nobody was walking across to the shops.”

Anglian Water engineers have been working to find the fault with the pumping station since the explosion but power was restored to the street on Tuesday.

Explosion At An Iranian Natural-Gas Station Kills At Least One Guard

Turkmenistan Explosion
Given the recent turmoil in Iran, and the missile depot blast in November that was initially announced as a gas station explosion, the news today of a natural-gas station fire in Iran may be of interest.

Mehr reports that the blast occurred in the northern Iranian city of Rasht and left at least one guard dead (via Bloomberg).

An increase in gas pressure is being blamed for the explosion, and the ensuing fire that killed the guard.

Mehr said the incident occurred at the Lakan gas station in Rasht, but officials refuse to say where exactly the blast took place.

Gas cylinder explodes in Bendigo man's face

A FAMILY barbecue nearly turned to tragedy in Bendigo when a gas cylinder exploded in a man’s face.

The 25-year-old victim was airlifted to hospital early today with serious injuries to his face, hands and chest.

Ambulance spokesman John Mullen said shrapnel from the explosion had pierced the man’s body.

"It wasn’t just burns, he had some pretty significant fragment injuries,’’ Mr Mullen said.

The man’s family rushed him to Bendigo Hospital at midnight before he was taken by helicopter to the Alfred Hospital.

He remains in hospital in a serious but stable condition.

Liverpool city centre locked down amid fears of a huge gas explosion after pipe ruptures at former Lewis’s building

HUNDREDS of people were evacuated from streets, homes and businesses amid fears of a huge gas explosion in Liverpool city centre.

Police cordoned off roads within a 200m radius of the former Lewis’s department store after emergency services received reports of a suspected gas leak around 11.30am yesterday.

Four fire crews attended and firefighters helped police evacuate premises.

The strict safety cordon caused severe knock-on effects to public transport and the city centre came to a standstill.

Bus services were subject to delay and diversion while trains were prevented from stopping or passing through Liverpool Central station.

Around 15 Merseyrail staff stood outside Central station warding off frustrated commuters who couldn’t get into the station.

Gas leak

On the Northern Line, Southport, Kirkby, and Ormskirk services were starting and finishing at Moorfields, while services from Kirkby to the city centre stopped at Sandhills.

A huge part of the city centre was closed, including parts of Elliot Street, Ranelagh Street, Lime Street and Copperas Hill forcing shops to shut and traffic to be diverted.

Drivers and pedestrians were advised to avoid the area completely.

It is believed around 50 shops and businesses had to close their doors because of safety fears, among them such well-known names as Boots on Great Charlotte Street and McDonald’s, on Ranelagh Street, along with all the shops at the Liverpool Central concourse.

At Clayton Square shopping centre Clayton News, Ladbrokes and Discount UK were all closed.

Also affected was the NHS walk-in centre on Great Charlotte Street, with people advised to attend an alternative facility in Old Swan.

Police ventured into the exclusion zone to clear homes.

Jack Spencer, Josh Hallam and Abbey Catherall, all studying drama at John Moores university, were told to leave their Lime Street flat at 1.30pm.

Jack, 20, said: “We were just sitting around. I was about to go to the library.

“We saw police and thought it might be a bomb scare. We were a bit worried.

“Then they knocked on our door and told us to go.”

Explosion and Fire at Eagle Ford Disposal Well in Pearsall [Update]


Photo courtesy of Pearsall Volunteer Fire Department

An explosion and fire rocked an oil fracking site in South Texas last night. Three were injured.

Three people have been injured after an explosion and fire at a disposal well in Pearsall, Texas Thursday night. The site is used for disposal of fracking fluids from the Eagle Ford Shale in South Texas, about 50 miles from San Antonio.* The fire burned for several hours and was put out by 9 p.m. last night. It isn’t clear yet what caused the explosion. (The Railroad Commision of Texas, which oversees drilling in the state, later released a statement explaining the explosion. You can read it below.)

Update: StateImpact Texas spoke with Pearsall Volunteer Fire Department Chief Placido Aguilar today about the fire. He said that at about 5:30 p.m. Thursday an oil tank exploded and caught fire. It took about an hour and a half to get under control once firefighters arrived. “There were four departments from around here, twelve trucks, and 33 guys that helped with the fire,” he told StateImpact Texas. He said that the fire department had to cool down three tanks holding oil so they wouldn’t reignite.

Aguilar says the site uses hydraulic fracturing to drill for oil.* “There was a well running when we got there that had to be shut down,” Aguilar said. “I know it’s producing, [because] they had three tanks full of oil. That one that exploded lost its top and was on fire.” (Update: These earlier reports appear to be wrong. The site is used for disposal of wastewater from fracking and drilling, according to the Railroad Commission of Texas. Read the statement from the Railroad Commission of Texas on the exp....)

With drilling taking off in the Eagle Ford Shale, is Aguilar concerned that his all-volunteer department will have to respond to more fires like these? “Yes, probably in the last six months we’ve had two other incidents. And they [drillers] say they’re gonna be here for a while.”

Half of Brisbane's bus fleet taken off the road after gas explosion at depot

HALF the Brisbane Transport bus fleet will not be in service today after a gas explosion at Virginia bus deport in the early hours of the morning.

A Brisbane City Council spokeswoman said all buses that run on gas would not be operating today because of the incident.

Workers at the bus depot were refilling the gas cylinders on a bus at 1.17am when the gas pod exploded, a department of Community Services spokeswoman said.

"No one was injured and while fire crews attended to contain the gas there was no fire," she said.

Two buses sustained damage in the explosion.

"As a precaution following the incident, no gas powered buses will operate today while investigations are undertaken resulting in approximately half of council's bus fleet being non operational today," the council spokeswoman said.

"Commuters can expect significant disruptions to bus services throughout the weekend and are advised to leave plenty of time ahead of their journey to account for delays or make alternative transport arrangements such as trains."

TransLink said the following high-frequency services would be operating under reduced frequency:
