Another Major Gas Line Explosion WV

Seems more big explosions than normal. But hey, what is 'normal' for these sorts of things?

Reports are coming in of a big explosion in Sissonville, West Virginia (scroll down for photos).

Via local news outlet WSAZ:

The northbound lanes of Interstate 77 are closed in the Sissonville area, from Tuppers Creek to Pocatalico due to what's being called a major gas line explosion.

Kanawha County Commission President Kent Carper tells WSAZ.com crews were called to what was described as a major gas line explosion in Sissonville.

WSAZ says that right now, no injuries or fatalities have been reported. A "Shelter in Place" has been issued for buildings in the area, though.

The AP reports that according to state police, several structures are on fire.

West Virginia Metro News cites Kanahwa County Commissioner Kent Carper:

"The flames are shooting 50, 75 to 100 feet. There's fire everywhere," said Carper reporting from the scene on 58-WCHS. "Gas company is on the scene working with emergency officials to get the gas shut off, then we'll assess if we have injuries or casualties. At this time it's a fairly chaotic scene."

...

"Several structures are involved. The fire is so hot it's like a blevy. It's caused houses to melt and burn way far away," he said. "Many structures are on fire in a large fire area stretching hundreds and hundreds of feet."

Now, WSAZ reports that the well has been capped.

The Charleston Gazette is reporting that the fire has been put out, and the search for casualties is underway:

Crews apparently extinguished the fire just before 2 p.m. but a large amount of fumes remain in the air, said Kanawha County Commission President Kent Carper.

Carper said paramedics and emergency responders are going into homes and apartments now to assess injuries or fatalities.

Thread: Massive explosion in Sissonville WV.

We have gas and water lines going down in ABQ New Mexico.

This seems to be related to widespread earth changes. That is one of a few logical explanations for the recent frequency.

Yes, but how, exactly?


The ground shifting/minor earthquakes that move just enough to break pipes or seals/joints on pipes???

Pressure building up in these gas lines...but how?

Vibration (such as Tesla machine that could shake a bridge violently until it collapsed, using a machine that a man could fit in his pocket) for some reason being used purposefully and nefariously, or perhaps unintentionally as a result of other operations such as HAARP?

Another option that just came to mind through brainstorming about this recent phenomena: That "MAYAN ELDER explains" video that was posted and pinned about a week ago- In it, he explains that CERN has opened up at least 100 (or was it 1,000) sinkholes all across the world- not sinkholes exactly, I believe he described the holes as the result of miniature black holes being created by CERN- and appearing all over the planet. If true, it is certainly plausible that there could be a sinkhole somewhere near Sissonville (perhaps underground) which caused the earth to shift and rupture gas lines.




What are some other possible causes? C'mon people! Think!!!!

Problem is, these gas pipelines are rated for only 40 years, and many, many across the nation are aged 40-50 years now.

Most of the gas lines run under neighborhoods now, so there is no way to fix or update them.

Thread: Massive explosion in Sissonville WV.

Really? How did this one get pinned and not the other one?

The other one is way better.

I really hate to bring up the infrastructure sabotage issue, But so much seems to be "blowing up" lately. Threats were given for such things by Uncle Al Qaeda the terrorist's pal..

5 starsbecause of no fore thought we are lucky this does not happen everyday

This thread started at 1:52. the other at 1:28 and was on page. Maybe you could pin the other thread as well mods?

Nah...1 is fine.

Or unpin the hijacked post, and rightfully pin the one that was posted first and already has 1k+ views, numerous comments, and 6 ratings.

Yeah...because it's just not important unless the right thread is pinned...right! STFU, have a coke and a smile.

high pressure gas leak due to pipe corrosion would be my guess. Since the flames are close to the road the gas fumes ignited when a car drove near the fumes.

The Mossad did it. Or the earth is expanding.

I live about 5 miles out from where this happened. There was an actual Highway to Hell :P Another one happened awhile back that was caused by a landslide.

The official term is "squished"

Don't think it's reasonable for a moderator to tell somebody that's not doing anything wrong to shut the fuck up.

But, whatever. Just trying to give credit where it was due.

It's damn good thing "reasonable" is subjective. Back on track...enough derailing.

actually, we were all following the other one, which IS better, and the only reason i clicked on this one was the title reads as if this was a separate event, but it is the same event.

See...now that's a fair assessment. It's confusing. Duly noted

In a gas line explsion I thought it was "Crisped" and "Gibbed"...

No no, I've coined the term "squished" as generic for any disaster when people get injured or killed, natural or otherwise...
