Black Smoke Friday: Missouri Gas Pipeline Explosion Causes 300-Foot Fireball

Black Smoke Friday: Missouri Gas Pipeline Explosion Causes 300-Foot Fireball | ThinkProgress

A 30-inch gas pipeline in a rural area of western Missouri ruptured and exploded early Friday morning and sent a 300 foot high fireball into the air, Fox 4 news reports.

NBC station KOMU reported that the glow from the burning Panhandle Eastern Pipeline could be seen for miles. There were no injuries or fatalities, but three homes within a half-mile of the blast were evacuated. The blaze took more than two hours to extinguish and by mid-morning on Friday the residents had been allowed back in, according to Fox.

Local news reports said that by morning, a “smoldering moon-like crater” could be seen at the site of the explosion. The flames also destroyed seven buildings on a nearby hog farm. One commenter on KOMU’s report said the fire “lit up the whole area like it was daytime.” Some residents reported their homes were shaking.

Imagine how many birds, snakes, and other animals died in this Solar doesn't do this.

Every tragedy now is celebrated by the radical Environmentalist

I wonder how they'll prevent forest fires? They will demand humans don't live there is coming

How to prevent this gas pipe line explosions types accidents?

We'll all get to live in their approved cement style housing/cities, ride crowded stinky subways while being mugged/abused, etc

the American dream Utopia for Progressives

So billions of dollars in health problems
Tens of thousands of deaths from the effects of coal, oil and pollution
and tens of millions of dead animals is all a'ok to you on the right...

Solar, nuclear, wind, hydro and hydro-thermal and wave is the answer but you won't wake up to that reality.

Cooooool....

You mean heritage/Romney care at the federal level? Yep, our government fucked up. On the other hand the private sector would install the solar, wind, nuclear, hydro, hydro-thermal and wave So why are you concerned?

I don't want anyone living in a cave but we can do better.

Solar, wind, and wave are gimmicks. Not Alternatives. And geothermal is OK with me, but in another thread --- you claimed it was clean and renewable.. It's neither. And it's not gonna power Philadelphia ever. It's a dirty mining operation where we LEARNED how to Frack for nat gas..

And HYDRO? You think you get a permit TODAY to flood 20 sq miles of forest and call it GREEN?? We've got all the hydro we're gonna get.. NEW hydro operations are a LARGE source of CO2.

So what's left on your list to accomodate any INCREASE in demand?

As long as you dont' include CO2 as a pollutant -- we can chat about deaths and illness.
BUT USING CO2 as an EXCUSE to get your way --- is a non-starter..
