| Anonymous Coward User ID: 27573720 11/14/2012 06:51 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | it's a nitration plant. nitration is a dangerous process. explosions tend to happen at nitration plants. nitric acid is made by reacting sulphuric acid with saltpeter. sulfuric and nitric acid combined will nitrate just about any organic compound to an explosive of some kind, even the cotton in clothing (the result of that reaction is the main component in smokeless powder, fyi). the fact that it happens fairly often is confirmed by everybody finding old links of similar explosions. no drones. no islamic strike. no commies from mars. just plain old runaway nitration. that's why nobel had to move his dynamite plant to a barge in the middle of a lake, the government got tired of towns being blown up. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 27573720 Military bunkers and ammo depots have been blowing up by the thousands world wide since the perfected the use of HAARP. military bunkers and ammo depots have blown up since the first one was built. that's what tends to happen when you mix dimwit humans and explosives, given enough time. people get lax, people get stupid, people get complacent. explosives tend to be rather unforgiving of all 3. |

[link to www.youtube.com] methane is a by-product of rotting organic material. any kind of organic material from wood to meat. it has nothing to do with volcanism. sink holes are often caused by old, non-fossilized wood rotting deep underground. long ago buried "natural dams" from long dried up rivers tend to cause the largest ones. this being the case, it would seem that sink holes, and methane pockets would be expected to be seen together. science, it's your friend |
