A lot like Indiana. [color=blue]The explosion in a downtown area of Springfield, 90 miles west of Boston, blew out all windows in a three-block radius, leaving three more buildings irreparably damaged and prompting emergency workers to evacuate a six-story apartment building that was buckling. Police Sgt. John Delaney marveled at the destruction at the blast's epicenter, where a multistory building was leveled. [b]"It looks like there was a missile strike here," [/b]he said.[/color] http://news.yahoo.com/gas-blast-levels-mass-buildings-least-18-hurt-021618277.html [/quote] Agree, sounds just like Indiana. [/quote] I seriously don't even know what to make of this obsurd happening. Gas explosions have happened many times and you never hear of buildings leveled entirely to the ground and all windows being blown out for three blocks. Is it possible that something is underlying all of these explosions? Excess pressure of gas? These pipeline come from the south? Can these gaslines get overloaded? [/quote]
Original Message
Last night, a technician was able to shut off a faulty valve and avert what probably could have been another crazy gas line explosion. An emergency responder reported a gas plume 100ft high accompanied by a huge booming sound like a freight train. Being that last night was Thanksgiving holiday here in the states, this could have gone a whole different direction. Thank goodness for that technician, he was really on the job. I think there is more to this, possibly an agenda by oil industry to create fear around natural gas.
