20 gas explosions in Massachusetts just now!!!

Who knows. But the gas situation gives them the 'go ahead' to search every single structure (residential and business) in all three cities.

Just a guess, but I would think so. Anyone know for sure?

just in case no one answers in this thread, i started a new thead...

Thread: is a cyber attack against gas utilities possible?

Lets not forget about the nuke facilities, that's a worry here.

yep. this is a thing.

VIEDs. too.

know where your cut off valve is. sometimes it's at the curb and looks like a big bolt.

Police and swat teams patroling neighborhoods is Lawrence.

hmmmmm

Yes this is a clear case of Gas Violence

Gas Violence must be stopped!

If it saves one child's life Gas Violence must be stopped!

Grid conditions look normal at the moment, the gas turbines run on higher pressure pipes so hopefully this didn't effect them:

It's calculated in PSI. The lowest pressure mains are about 7 PSI and a regulator aren't needed is correct. High pressures lines run bout 100 PSI. I don't see how anyone can make that kind a mistake. After installing the line the proper procedure is to check the system for possible leaks. This doesn't explains why the system didn't automatic shut down due to pressure deferences or a sudden drop in pressure to to a major leak.

WTF is goin on? This is a preplanned event and nothing to do with the hurracane!

Updated plotting of confirmed fires and explosions by MSP Watch Center. 39 locations confirmed thus far. Number will grow. New responses ongoing. Reminder: all residents of Lawrence/Andover/N Andover who have Columbia Gas must evacuate, as should anyone else who smells gas. pic.twitter.com/IwD4phgTfu

The town of Andover has put out 35 fires, Andover Fire Chief Michael Mansfield said in a statement. While all of the fires there have been put out, firefighters will still remain there overnight, Mansfield said.

that the most expensive few pounds EVER !

No solar eruptions/flares. Coronal hole and solar wind, yes, which occurs regularly.

This is a real possibility.

Something is not right.

This is hardly on the news....anywhere. This is a massive emergency.

Someone in the media had to of sent out a mass email saying downplay this for some reason. Makes you wonder if it was human error then the contracting company must be minority or owned by a dem politician.

If it was terrorism well then we all know we will never hear much about it.

Bullshit!

would have happened in NC too.

Hopefully this was not a terror attack. Have a look at the Related Threads at the bottom of the page. It seems Massachusetts has had a problem like this before.

Is it true nobody has died? If so, that is a miracle in itself. I hope everyone is okay.

I don't expect the the "authorities" to admit a terrorist attack, even if it was.

this has been a terrorism plot for over 2 years.

This is a pre-planned timed event to coincide with florence from one of our many adversaries.

Iran

so there's always enough room for a conspiracy theory? That's brilliant. the perfect crime. again and again until the US is broke and completely vulnerable.

keep your bugout bags packed.

yep.


the chemical weapons in Idbid hasn't happened yet...

There is an Imam in Boston who is in charge of the whole operation in the US. He is over 8 other prominent Imams who are calling the shots of terrorism cells.

Be aware, be prepared.

On a system that large, it's quite likely that the main stepdown pressure regulator would be controlled with a PID loop via a PLC.

Most of those systems have zero security features, anyone with Allen Bradley software could do whatever they wanted with a few clicks if they had access to the network, which isn't necessarily easy since most of these SCADA systems are on isolated subnets... but bust a lock and gain physical access and it would be a matter of plugging in a cable and you're online.

But to look at the logic and actually know what to do, you'd need knowledge of the system to be able to really wreak havoc.

But still you would have to imagine that there would be rupture disks somewhere that would burst, or excess flow valves that would slam shut when the high pressure gas rocketed into the low pressure pipe.

This really shouldn't have been able to happen on a well engineered system, no matter how knowledgeable a person who was at the controls.
