Gas Pipeline in San Francisco Explodes - Similar fate for North Mayo?

sealgaire · 10-09-2010 12:57PM #1

No wonder there are objections to the route of the Shell gas pipeline in Rossport when this is what could happen:

And this is in a major city with an excellent emergency response network. Imagine how long it will take the local fire bridgade to reach them in rural Mayo . . .

Ah yes that looks just like a stretch of bogland in Mayo.

Big difference. In Mayo it might destroy like a fence and some trees.

minidazzler · 10-09-2010 01:05PM

It's Mayo, I think most people would think this could only be a good thing to happen there.

Pookah · 10-09-2010 01:07PM

Should the thread title not read 'Petrol Station explodes in San Francisco'; tenous link to Mayo Gas Pipeline inferred.'?

Brendog · 10-09-2010 01:09PM

It won't happen it Mayo.

The gas mixed with the smug cloud of San Francisco and obviously some hippy lit a J and BOOM!

Mayo isn't smug. Its just filled with cows, who produce huge amounts of methanOHGOD!!!:eek:

Didnt they want to put that pipe through a bog?

Would a bog be flammable

mikemac · 10-09-2010 01:15PM

That's a petrol station, nothing to do with the pipeline in Mayo

If you want to make a connection OP, you should be aiming at the thousands of petrol stations in every town in the country, many with apartments above them

Of course not, a bog is mainly water.
Why is why peat has to be dried before you can do anything with it

I think you never went turf cutting as a young lad

StompToWork · 10-09-2010 01:18PM

Looks like Jamie and Adam have been up to something!!

sbsquarepants · 10-09-2010 01:19PM

Gas pipeline?
Did you make that bit up? You wee scamp you!
Eh, i mean shell to sea, etc etc

The vid says "cause unknown".

robby^5 · 10-09-2010 01:21PM

OMG THINGS THAT HAVE HAPPENED ELSEWHERE CAN ALSO HAPPEN HERE!

And yet we don't see unemployable crustys protesting outside petrol stations all over the country.

Hmmmmmm.

If you organize one they'll no doubt turn up. Rent-a-mob idiots that like to turn up at every stupid protest across the country, no doubt with Richard Boyd Barrett on the lookout for the nearest camera

There will be no problem in Mayo as long as the crusties are banned from buying matches, lighters and hand-grenades.

mike65 · 10-09-2010 01:29PM

The free market has closed down about 50% of Irish filling stations in the last 15 years so
Richard Boyd Barrett need do nothing.

easyeason3 · 10-09-2010 01:30PM

I seriously doubt it.

And sure tomorrow is September the 11th so it's probably Osama, the scamp, letting us know he's still alive & kicking.

10-09-2010 01:33PM

This is terrible, so many homes destroyed.

Was it plane or what the hell?
Im listening to the Scanner and the firefighters plan on being there a long time.

I think you're in the wrong forum.

Though many were sold for land for apartments which never happened in the end.

I can think of two near me which were boarded up sites for the last few years and recently reopened as filling stations

So we may seen a small increase

Or in this case, things that have happened elsewhere means completely different things could happen here!
I'm scared

This:

There's no suggestion that it was a plane.

seensensee · 10-09-2010 01:49PM

The Gubbermint should have CPO'ed all houses within 1 km of the pipeline.

Well. you are wrong on that as lots of eye witnesses reported hearing and seeing plane. others saying possible fireball, so there was a suggestion it was a plane , I posted the news report where most of the witnesses said clearly they saw plane.

Cause not yet known, beside an airport.

It's not beyond the realms of possibility.

Grasping at straws poster is grasping.

That story is related to the mayo pipe line about as much as me eating a tin of tuna

The explosion happenned yesterday. If it was caused by an aeroplane, I think we'd know by now.

Edit: It was beside an airport. Of course people saw planes. If it was beside the zoo would you be blambing the elephants?

Imagine if you were just outside the exclusion zone - the government would have got sued by such people I imagine. "where's my free money?!"
