Title: Pipeline safety Post by LostArtist on 11/28/16 at 15:16:28 Just through October... Here's more from the source https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_pipeline_accidents_in_the_United_States_in_the_21st_century 2016 On January 2, 3 people were injured, one seriously, one home destroyed, and 50 homes were damaged in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, when a leak gas from a gas main entered a home. Preliminary results indicate that a leak occurred at a weld seam on the gas main. Later, Oklahoma regulators filed a complaint over the failure with Oklahoma Natural Gas. The complaint alleged the utility failed to properly inspect its system following eight previous leak failures in the neighborhood going back to 1983.[552][553] On January 9, a 30-inch Atmos Energy gas transmission pipeline exploded and burned in Robertson County, Texas. 4 families nearby were evacuated.[554] On January 11, butane leaking from a pipeline storage facility, in Conway, Kansas, forced a closure of a nearby highway for a time.[555] On February 14, a 6-inch crude oil pipeline broke near Rozet, Wyoming, spilling about 1,500 gallons of crude oil into a creek bed.[556] On February 16, an explosion and fire occurred at a gas plant in Frio County, Texas. 2 employees at the plant were injured.[557] On February 24, a 10-inch propane pipeline exploded and burned, near Sulphur, Louisiana.

The incident was reported at 8:17 a.m., near the intersection of Routes 819 and 22 in Salem Township, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania. Later, Spectra Energy Corp. announced plans to dig up and assess 263 miles of that pipeline, from Pennsylvania to New Jersey. Corrosion had been detected at the failed seam 4 years before the rupture.[566][567][568] On May 20, a Shell Oil Company pipeline leaked near Tracy, California, spilling about 21,000 gallons of crude oil.[569] On June 23, a Crimson Pipeline crude oil line leaked in Ventura County, California.

The spill did not reach nearby waterways.[572] On August 12, contractors were working on one of the main lines in Sunoco Pipeline LP's Nederland, Texas terminal when crude oil burst through a plug that was supposed to hold the oil back in the pipeline and ignited. The contractors were knocked off the platform to the ground, suffering injuries from the fall and severe burns. 7 contractors were injured.[573] On September 4, a pipeline broke in Kern County, California, spilling reclaimed water & oil. On September 5, a pipeline in Bay Long, Louisiana was hit by dredging operations, resulting in a spill of about 5,300 gallons of crude oil into the water.[574] On September 9, a Colonial Pipeline mainline leak was noticed by workers on another project, in Shelby County, Alabama. At least 252,000 gallons of gasoline leaked from line.[575][576] On September 10, a Sunoco pipeline ruptured near Sweetwater, Texas. About 33,000 gallons of crude oil were spilled.

Title: Re: Pipeline safety Post by MnSpring on 11/28/16 at 17:20:25 Very Sad and Tragic. Accidents always are. Yet, they Still Happen. However, take a Minute, and Compare, Accidental Fatalities. (Of Pipelines), To: Motorized Vehicles. Ladders/Stairs. Drowning. Electrocution, Power Equipment, Non Motorized, (Bicycles/Skateboards). Poison, (Drano under the sink). Suffocation, (Plastic bag that came with something). Etc Etc Etc. Last week, you could have found a 100 +, road Accidents, on ONE day. “ … Family killed in car crash, on the way to Grams House for Thanksgiving Dinner…” Very Tragic. JUST, like Pipe Line Accidents ! BUT, the ‘car crash’, has no, ‘Political, Message’. OH, and for all the, ‘gun grabbers’. Firearms, are 14 to 18 on the list of, Accidental, fatalities. (Depending on which list you look at) YET, NO Cry’s for Laws to: Have a Locked Cabinet, with the Drano (and like) in. Have a Locked Gate, at the top and bottom of a Stairs. Have a Plastic Devise, to insert in any UN Used Outlets. All lakes, rivers, Fenced off, and Only, a ‘designated’ area to use, ONLY if a ‘Certified’ Lifeguard is on duty. Everyone that rides a Bicycles/Skateboard, HAS to wear, ATGATT. On and On and On !!!!! Both, Accidents, Both Very Tragic. But one, has, ‘Political’, traction, to sway a POV. The other does not. |

Title: Re: Pipeline safety Post by justin_o_guy2 on 11/28/16 at 18:09:12 After several reported problems,in one area, no comprehensive study of the area. Bad... How many barrels of oil need to leave one place and Not get to the next before someone c loses a valve? Pressure sensors to control pumps and valves, Why not? |

Title: Re: Pipeline safety Post by MnSpring on 11/28/16 at 18:27:16 Some States it is a LAW, to have a PFD, (Life Jacket), IN, the Boat, which Must be Licensed. Law: PFD, ‘available’, for each person in a Boat. No, LAW, that a Person, ‘wind surfing’, or paddle boarding. Or even in a Licensed Boat ! HAS to WEAR ONE. Tragic Occurrence. http://www.startribune.com/search-continues-for-missing-paddleboarder-on-lake-waconia/403472676/ A Lake just 3 miles away, a person, ‘Paddle boarding’, has been looked for, the last 2 days. Guess, MINN, MUST, Make a LAW. That a, Paddelboarder, MUST, wear a PFD. Or, perhaps, a, understanding of, ‘Hypothermia’, is in order ? Can you say: “Common Sense” ? Tragic Accident ? YES. Cleaning up the gene pool ? YES. To bad, this, tragic Accident, could not be used as a, 'POLITICAL', Stand, To Sway, a POV, to favor the DNC. |

How many dollars are spent on rescuing the brave ones every year? How many dollars are spent on retrieving or dredging for the dead?

Title: Re: Pipeline safety Post by WebsterMark on 11/28/16 at 19:04:43 how many thousands of miles of pipeline run under the country by the way? if Lost is so concerned about getting rid of dangerous objects, I might bid on his motorcycle since he's obviously going to put it up for sale. |

Title: Re: Pipeline safety Post by MnSpring on 11/28/16 at 19:08:32 Taking a ‘risk’. But being, PREPARED. Sometimes, after Thanksgiving, they may be 2-3” of ice on a lake, which is the BEST Fishing Time. (This year not) Have gone, ‘on The Ice’, several times. KNOWING, it is ‘un safe’. BUT, have BEEN Prepared. !!!!!!!!! Only WOOL, Clothing. (Wool is Warm, even when wet !) ALWAYS, 2 People, Each, with a hank of rope 30 +/- “ long. (To use to throw to the Other Person) Each with a PDF ON. Each with, ‘Ice Picks’. Each staying 20” Apart. ( Ice, ‘Picks’, are two, wood dowels/limbs of wood, with a Point on one side, and a string on the other, hung around the neck, so you can use them to ‘pull’ yourself on a sheet of ice, if you fall through, because you will NEVER, do it without them) Then you walk out, with your ’spud’, (A Ice Chisel), And toss it down, is does NOT go through. You walk another 5 FEET, do it again. and keep doing that, until it goes through on the FIRST, throw. THEN, you stop, and fish. It is the BEST, ‘Ice Fishing’, Ever !!!!!! One time, Me and a Buddy were Fishing on, Early Ice, The ONLY two on the Lake. Looked back at the landing, when a PU truck pulled in, with a 4 wheeler in the back. We Looked at each other and, packed up and Left ! As we reached Shore, here was this, ‘……’, With his, 4 wheeler, and his 5 year OLD KID, on back, with ALL Sorts of gear. Ready to just drive out on the Ice. (Because he saw two people out their) He asked, “How was the Fishing” We said, “I would NOT go out their with That” Then Left. Guessing, he did Not drive out, because their were No local reports, of a DFI, driving on early ice. Why, this long explanation? Because it, Parrots, people, who KNOW, NOT WHAT THEY ARE DOING, And, DO, it, “Because someone else is”. Just like, “What, someone else, Said” !!!!!!! |

Title: Re: Pipeline safety Post by LostArtist on 11/28/16 at 19:57:17 interesting assumptions, typical talking point BS though and of course the completely inapplicable tangents that address NOTHING about anything http://https://www.propublica.org/images/ngen/gypsy_big_image/pipeline_line_map-630x420.gif liquid in red, gas in blue "The United States has the largest network of energy pipelines in the world, with more than 2.4 million miles of pipe. The network of crude oil pipelines in the U.S. is extensive. There are approximately 72,000 miles of crude oil lines in the U.S. that connect regional markets." and this isn't talking about ME putting MYSELF at risk, by being unprepared, this is about OTHERS, putting OTHERS at risk because of greed, oh, if those pipelines where M&Ms and only 3 of them were explosive, would you let them put it under YOUR house??? oh, well, a lot of you already have it under your house, for your gas stove, oven, heat, etc.... funny, we accept a level of danger to OTHERS and ourselves for OUR COMFORT and convenience, and economic reasons, but refugees, nah, forget those people, let them die in a warzone, despite that we all go to the kitchen or bathroom everyday which is statistically, MUCH more dangerous than extending a little charity to refugees |

Title: Re: Pipeline safety Post by justin_o_guy2 on 11/28/16 at 20:33:51 I Don't care which is more dangerous. I can LIVE without the refugees. You're not real big on logic, are you? |

Stats back that up. Comparing the risks of refugees, which is an unknown HERE,but evidence in Europe would make them clearly dangerous. WE DON'T NEED REFUGEES. We NEED energy. That's pragmatic. It's how grown ups think. |
