    Methane leak in California a 'major catastrophe'

    California Alert -- Methane Eruption at FRACKING operation - Climate Consequences California-gas-leak

    About 42 kilometres from Los Angeles, above the houses nestled in the mountains of Porter Ranch, Calif., a plume of methane is shooting into the sky. The cloud is invisible but it stretches for kilometres, as though a forest fire has been continually burning for months. All of this is emanating from a tiny pipe about 20 centimetres wide, more than a kilometre underground.

    "The amount of methane and natural gas that's coming out of the Aliso Canyon Facility really is probably one of the largest volumes of gas ever recorded from a single leak," says Tim O'Connor, an oil and gas specialist with the non-profit Environmental Defense Fund (EDF).

    The Aliso Canyon Natural Gas Storage Facility, owned by SoCalGas, is the fifth biggest of its kind in U.S. But in late October, the company realized one of its wells was leaking. At first the company tried to close the leak using the conventional method of pouring fluids and mud down the well.

    "We have tried that seven times and have been unsuccessful in trying to stop the leak," said SoCalGas spokesman Michael Mizrahi. "I have to say more than likely it's [because] the pressures that are coming up from the leaking well are so intense."

    The company says it doesn't know exactly how much gas is escaping. But environmentalists estimate the effect is comparable to the tailpipes of up to seven million cars venting directly into the atmosphere every day.

    Not good. And so as the world turns, the planet FARTS.

    DANGER! Los Angeles Gas Well Leak "OUT OF CONTROL" - Entirely lost control of entire gas field, leaks everywhere!"

    A catastrophic disaster is now taking place outside of Los Angeles endangering hundreds of thousands of people. officials say they have "entirely lost control of the entire (gas) field" meaning explosive methane gas is now leaking from "many places."  Workers at the scene of the Porter Ranch gas field in the Aliso Canyon say some of the leaks are so loud, the hissing sound can be heard 1/2 mile away.

    If this continues, multiple massive explosions are very likely to take place once the methane comes into contact with the pilot light of a stove, or hot water heater.  This could set off "rolling explosions a few hundred feet in the air, knocking down all the houses and buildings nearby as it goes!"

    Worse, toxic benzene is now also confirmed to be coming out of the ground and entering the atmosphere in such large quantities, that people can be killed merely from walking through it.  Benzene can be absorbed through the skin.  Once a sufficient amount enters the body, there is no treatment and no cure; all the person can do is wait to die.

    The graphic below was made from actual measurements of Benzene; the higher the red color goes, the worse the concentration.  Fatal levels are the highest ones near the well and gas field.
