Anonymous Coward User ID: 29631687 Portugal 12/11/2012 02:20 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | 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. Click here for live updates > 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. Read more: [link to www.businessinsider.com] |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 865798 United States 12/11/2012 02:22 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Hmmmmm.....a lot of oil pipeline problems lately... Quoting: Anonymous Coward 865798 Space Weather and Geomagnetically Induced Currents Space weather generates Geomagnetically Induced Currents (GICs) that affect electrical systems on the earth's surface, including power and power transformer systems. Where the land is resistant, oil and gas pipelines form a system of long conductors that allow electrical currents to flow more easily. With the accumulative action of many magnetic disturbances pipeline corrosion is significantly accelerated. The massive oil spillage that took place in Alaska, March 2006 could have been caused by Space Weather.

That is one of a few logical explanations for the recent frequency. Quoting: WTFRLY 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!!!!

That is one of a few logical explanations for the recent frequency. Quoting: WTFRLY 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. |

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