Our Haunted Planet

Emergency crews of "Tyumen'TransGaz" removed consequences of the gust in the main gas pipe located in the Khanty Mansiysk autonomous area, as reported on Sunday by Emergency and Disaster Relief Ministry of the Russian Federation.

Comment: According to the words of the witness, there was a big explosion n Nyagan town in Siberia. The blow up was accompanied with a sound of "jet plane landing". He commented that the event was big.

According to the data of the Ministry, gas workers overlapped the emergency section, and fire was liquidated at 19.16 MSK. There are no populated areas in the zone of emergency.

Comment: The above statement is perplexing, because you can clearly see that this event occurred near a populated area. Unless it was indeed very big and seen from afar.

At present time gas is transferred to users on the backup gas pipe.

A similar emergency - the break of the main gas pipe with the subsequent fire occurred on Sunday morning in the suburb of Valdaya (Novgorod region). There are no injuries. According to the specialists of Emergency and Disaster Relief Ministry, possible reason for the incident is a deformation of the pipe with the so-called "fatigue of metals".

Those pictures are impressive - what would cause that vertical shaft of bright light? Why the other pipeline fire so near by and so soon? Texas had an exploding oil refinery a day and half after this - [Link] - - curious.

Yes, quite a bizarre event, where the explanations given don't quite fit. If it was a gas explosion, then one would not expect those vertical shafts of intense light, I would think.

Hmm I thought it was the gas burning, much like a lighter. Just a thought.
