>>> Follow-up to: Officials: Gas main explosion in NJ town suspected -- Flames shooting up from sand, huge fire -- 15 miles from nuclear plant -- Crews unable to access area (VIDEO) <<<
ABC’s Good Morning America, Oct. 31, 2012
Anchor: Nightline’s Terry Moran is there this morning with the latest on the scene from his vantage point [in Seaside Heights, NJ].
Terry Moran: What you are seeing up the beach, those fire you are looking at, that is the concern here [...]
And in that wreckage behind me, we can hear the gas lines hissing. That is the fear for the people here. They’ve been told by the fire department that one spark and this town could blow.

HAVE FIREFIGHTERS go and plug each gas line that is leaking they have haz mat gas plugs or you take a piece of wood and jam it in the end and seal 90 percent of the gas

But take a hammer made of brass.
Steel would make sparks if you hit the line.

Gee this is about 26 miles from Oyster Creek Nuke Plant but I'm sure they have everything under control. Hmm

Ops 10 miles I did not think it was that close.

Are they not able to shut a main valve off in a safe area? I understand they cant get through, but they should be able to shut the main ones off and let the remaining gas burn off.
Good luck to them FF's i wouldnt go near that place. Def not with a reactor we know nothing about.

and those idiots are running their vehicles near the damn thing…good call….because alternators don't cause sparks…

I hope they learn a lesson from this. Obviously Fukushima has taught them nothing, go figure. We must start investing in our ancient infrastructure and I would love to see all nuke plants shut down but that is a pipe dream thus they should at least upgrade the facilities. I really don't understand the failure to address these pressing issues.
