| Midwest Skeptic User ID: 72052582 United States09/13/2018 06:12 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Surprised that installing "pressure regulators" on the local distribution lines is NOT a standard practice. For the bigger commercial taps (ie apartments, larger buildings, even small office building, etc.) it should be standard practice to have them at each meter. IF these explosion are truly from over pressurized lines the gas company is going to not only have some explaining to do, but is most likely going to be liable for each and every fire that occurred (the insurance companies will sue to get their money back, even if the homeowner does not) Midwest Skeptic |
| my opinion User ID: 62137072 United States09/13/2018 06:12 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Most gas lines are run around 6-8lbs of pressure Either hacking or someone messed up big time. STUXNET industrial computer hacking, probably a siemens controllers there are designed safeguards in place no? seriously how can all this be over ridden? Hacked |
| BBQ BOY User ID: 71292324 United States09/13/2018 06:12 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I’m two towns away I just heard about this, this is awful! Stuff keeps going up in flames! I just had to text a buddy who lives in Lawrence to check on his place Quoting: AmericanSpyglass If you have gas GTFO out of your house till this is over, they just reported another explosion in Lawrence.

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 76842323 United States09/13/2018 06:14 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | IIRC most underground gas lines are at 10 psi or upgraded to 60psi. Quoting: Steamer And then regulators at each building to drop it down further to 3-5 depending on furnace/boiler/etc. So if a compression station on the pipeline system went fucky, and ALL of its safety controls and relief valves failed AND the pressure STILL blew past EACH building or house's own regulator then that is a major strange occurence indeed. There are ALOT of safety devices in place to prevent this. A computer hack that caused a gas compression station to overpressurize is one thing, but there are alot of physical/mechanical relief valves/diaphragm rupture disks/regulators that are unhackable. So maybe not "overpressurization". One thing it could be, is that in winter the gas companies inject butane or other high BTU gas into the 'natural gas' stream to boost BTU without increasing volume or pressure. Maybe some extra high BTU gas got injected by accident? Maybe sour gas? Or a fire occured inside the pipes and its a giant fougasse now. No way to stop it until it burns itself out. One thing for sure- somethings fucky! Thanks for the quick education. |
