Multiple explosions in the Lawrence, MA area.
Cops, firefighters and civilians being taken to local hospitals
Tellung all people in Andover, N. Andover, Lawrence to evacuaye. NOW.
This is horrifying stuff.
This is probably a stupid question, but I am good at them. Can’t they turn off the gas from its source?

Wow, that is scary.
Gloating. As this carnage is happening.
Now I see where the phrase “union thug” comes from.
Thanks for that info——this is horrifying.
.
I thought relief valves prevented this kind of thing. Of course, maybe somebody disabled them or they didn’t work due to lack of preventative maintenance.

Union terrorism.
Remember, Richard Trumka is a terrorist. His striking mine workers terrorized South west Virginia
?????
Hmmm....... how does a gas relief valve function?
To relieve the pressure, does it release gas? Continuous over pressure could releas a lot of gas
“Hey Charlie...Now you’ll see that natural gas is not to be messed with. Bring back the experienced @nationalgridus union gas workers and we’ll be right there to help “
Sabotage?
“This is probably a stupid question, but I am good at them. Can’t they turn off the gas from its source?”
Yes that is critical. The problem is that it sounds like a very large feed line has broken. The gas is already moving under ground. It will continue to disperse for some time even after the main line is shut off. The power company should cut all the power. That would eliminate many but not all of the ignition sources. The Gas simply won’t explode without an ignition source. Since modern appliances don’t have pilot lights then there are far more electrical ignition sources.
SOBs!!!
(Union?) troll?

Everyone in the Boston area remember, @nationalgridus has locked out 1,200 gas workers. Look what can happen when they and @MassGovernor ignore cries for public safety. You endanger the lives of citizens and first responders #lawrence #lawrencema #explosion #fire

@nationalgridus @MassGovernor natural gas is not a joke. Look what can happen without experienced workers. If the Boston gas workers Local 12003 weren’t locked out we would be on our way up to help #lawrence #explosion #usw12003 #fire

@MassGovernor Governor Baker do you still think maintaining the gas system is a game? Think twice before you enable @nationalgridus to lock out its workers. GET THE DPU TO DO ITS JOB
It has nothing to do with anything that could be solved with a relief valve or a regulator if that is what you really mean. The gas is entering the structures around the outside of the gas line through the trenches. It build ups and then when there is an ignition source it explodes. An example of an ignition source would be a gas hot water heater.
I’ll try again
WTH are you talking about?
