Re: Natural gas eruption in west virginia .... More to come
I don't care where you used to work.. I'm just telling ya these are major ACTIVE lines. You know, the kinds with up to date warning signs sayin there's a gas line there and on both sides at that which to me says they're connected. They run east to west, or vice versa of each other. I even thought maybe a small earthquake, n the OP's theory could be correct, BUT there is a mafor pipeline that IS most definitly there. I'm tellin ya, I've been driving every back road around here trying to get home from Charleston because the entire damn interstate is closed coming onto 77 N outta Charleston. I was at work, but my niece and sister n law was at my house with my young boy and they said the house shook, n they had thought a plane had crashed. My niece thought the house on top of the hill was on fire cause the interstate is right behind it where it happened. They thought it sounded like a jet engine that kept on roaring. Many local including my parents thought a big plane crashed.. I know the roaring sound is consistent with the gas line that blew up back in 02. I was about 500 yards away and it was probably 400 foot high easy, but that location is a good 15 20 miles southwest from where this happened.

It would surprise me very much if that location had gas lines. Looks rural. We had no gas lines where I grew up.

Dude, I literally live less than a mile from where this happened. There's gas lines all over this place and I mean everywhere! Hell I gre up riding 4 wheelers on a lot of around here. There's as much natural gas as there is coal around here..

Re: Natural gas eruption in west virginia .... More to come
Ok 1st off this was a gas line explosion . not a natural gas eruption . now if you look at Sissonville Wv, area on Google Earth you would see that there is a gas line in that area 38°30'10.61"N 81°38'41.00"W and before you think you know what the hell your talking about i am a firefighter in this area. goawaydumbass
 Quoting: Politicalamity


Natural gas pipeline explosion.

Sissonville is in the Marcellus Shale, one of the most heavily drilled areas in the country.
 Quoting: itsamadmadworld


The constant mining and drilling weakens the surface allowing gasses to erupt through with less resistance. And it's in a heavily mined area dictating that gas lines wouldn't even be lain in the location so gas line theory is bunk ... Thus far (not to say that it's not going to be written off as that)

 Quoting: Indego


Ummmm? I don't think you know what your talking about and I'm not trying to be mean, but what you are saying is completely wrong. I live close to the area and work for a major natural gas Driller and supplier. First off, just cause an area has been mined does not mean there are no gas lines there. Also we are laying natural gas pipelines all over WV to take natural gas from the well's to the processing plants. Also you have the regular communities natural gas supply lines. So I'm lost as to what you are saying? Please give me some clarity. Just cause an area has been mined before does not mean that now it cannot be fracked or have a gas line, that's just untrue.

True...West Virginia may very well have larger reserves of natural gas than we do coal...

I have a drilling crew less then 10 minutes walking distance from my home (Brooke county).

We have natural gas beneath our feet pretty much everywhere up here.

Re: Natural gas eruption in west virginia .... More to come
Probably just a weld failure, and as the pipe came apart, the friction ignited the gas. Lotta pressure in those pipes and being constantly pumped by reciprocating pumping stations. Most likely infrastructure needing renewal, after fifty or so years, it's about time to maintain the transmission lines.

Exactly. I've worked around gas lines and it's a known
Fact if that line goes it's going to take the entire pipe with it.
This however is in a rural area very rural... And the blast was a single large eruption ... Like ol faithful on fire .

 Quoting: Indego




I saw a similar explosion in the 1960's in Catlett, Virginia out in the middle of a cow pasture. I was 10 miles away and heard/felt the explosion. We got in the car and my father drove us over to the fire, it looked like it was very close because it was so huge, but it was miles away.

Anyway, no cows died.

Notable gas explosions

*The New London School explosion occurred on March 18, 1937, when a natural gas leak caused an explosion, destroying the New London School of the city of New London, Texas. The disaster killed three hundred students and teachers.

*The Cleveland East Ohio Gas Explosion occurred on the afternoon of Friday, October 20, 1944. The resulting gas leak, explosion and fires killed 130 people and destroyed a one square mile area on Cleveland, Ohio’s east side.

*On October 31, 1963, The Indianapolis Coliseum Explosion (now known as the Pepsi Coliseum) occurred during the opening night for the Holiday on Ice show, killing 74 and injuring nearly 400. The cause was an explosion following a propane tank leak.

*LaSalle Heights Disaster March 1, 1965. Gas line fractured in a low-cost residential neighborhood near Montreal, Quebec, killing 28 people and injuring 39.

*The Richmond, Indiana explosion, on Saturday, April 6, 1968. Two explosions occur in mid-afternoon, in the middle of downtown Richmond, Indiana. The first is caused by a natural gas leak, and the second, by gunpowder and ammunition inside a sporting goods store. 41 people are killed and more than 150 injured. Four square blocks of downtown Richmond, Indiana are heavily damaged by the explosion or subsequent fire.

*Ronan Point was a 23-story council tower block in Newham, east London. On 16 May 1968 a gas explosion caused the collapse of a whole corner of the building. Four people were killed in the collapse, with one dying later of injuries.

*Clarkston explosion on 21 October 1971, a build-up of gas under a shopping centre left 22 dead and around 100 injured.

*23 May 1984 Abbeystead disaster - an explosion resulting in 16 deaths and 22 injured from Methane entering waterwork pipes.

 Quoting: Indego


The image they show, in conjunction with a story about a gas pipeline, makes it look as if the pipeline was built right up the middle between 2 carriageways. If it destroyed 800 feet of road in both directions, then it was not built with proper safety concerns. A suit for negligence may force them to reveal the real reason to defend against negligence.
