(CNN) -- An underground natural gas pipeline exploded into flames Monday in Johnson County, Texas, injuring several people, a fire official said.
Several people were burned, and "we've got an unknown number of people still unaccounted for," said Cleburne Fire Chief Clint Ishmael. Crews could get no closer than 600 yards to the source of the fire, he said. "There's no way we can try to put this fire out."
The pipeline erupted around 2:40 p.m. (3:40 p.m. ET), and the shaking lasted for about 10 minutes, said Laura Harlin, who lives about a mile away. "Our house shook, glass shook," she said. "We watched this huge plume of smoke or steam rising above our neighborhood."
A rumble was continuing more than an hour later, she said.

Had one in W.V. today also.
Had another in PA last week.
Then you have the North Atlantic oil situation.
Crap never ends.

3 dead, 10 missing so far in Texas incident. http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=abFP_hGR2joo&pos=9
Makes me wonder if there isn't something going on sub-terrain that's sparking all these accidents?

That seems to be floating around with the nut jobs.
I can't find the link where I read about Arkansas earthquakes.
Something like they have averaged .85 a day per year over the past 20 years. Last week they had 13+ (small ones included) along with a couple more that last few days.

Count me in as a potential nut job.
If we have an oil volcano spewing thousands of barrels of oil a day into the ocean, might that leave a void where there was once some oil, causing other layers of earth to shift?
Obviously I am not a scientist, but this seems possible to me.

Nope, never seen or heard that. I don't watch television. That is a really dumb commercial.

I am wondering if peak oil is occuring, TPTB know it, and are taking action without letting us know it. Peak oil authoritarianism anyone?
