Not for the guys who did the maintenance on this one though. They're fired.
Here's the problem. "Workers" could easily not be workers. We need concrete confirmation the company had people on site working there. >

Put on a high vis vest and you can do whatever you want >

Add a radio and a clipboard and you can tell somebody else to do it for you. >

Add a 6' ladder in your hands and they'll hold the door open for you. >

White hard hat, now you’re going places! >

Funny story, in Latvia an actual historic piano was stolen like that years ago. Two guys came into the castle where piano was, in full worker gear, said to the guard that they are here to pick up piano for restauration works. It was never seen again, to this day they dont know who did it. >

Have they checked the British Museum yet? >

Some actual breaking news. >

That pipeline was SLAMMED >

And then I dropped the leg on it in front of 200,000 little Hulkamaniacs in the Superdome, brother!

Where's the red circle to show me where the fire is? >

It's on fire >

/r/Whoosh >

It is just me or is that a weird title. "hit by explosion"
Was the explosion just driving down the road and crashed into the pipeline? >

Nah it fell out of the window. >

The gas facility and explosion were dating for a while, but when explosion gets drunk it gets a little slappy >

Oh dear, i hope the gas facility breaks up with the explosion. Doesn't sound like a healthy relationship. >

When they are together you cannot deny the red hot passion >

No mention of maintenance. Catastrophe happens a lot during maintenance but that left out is scary >

Not really. This is basically an immediate response while someone goes through logs to confirm that people really were supposed to be carrying out maintenance there, and at that time. It will probably be a day or so before the info filters back through to a more accurate press statement, likely going via national security agencies first. >

For some strange reason this doesn't seem like a coincidence to me. >

Yeah, on an important date as well. Look up January 13th events. >

Or just do us a solid and toss out a link.
"Google it" is such a non answer. >


"Google it" is such a non answer.

Fuck me is this the most infuriating type of comment at the moment. Even worse is when it's a video / article. "Oh YouTuber has a video on this, just search for it" - nah bitch, you know exactly what you want us to see so fucking show us!
Woosah... Wooooosaaaaaaaaaah... >

Only second to the guy who posts on a software support site:
Post 1 : "Hey guys, I've got this bug."
Post 2 : "Nevermind, fixed it." (WITHOUT MENTIONING WTF THE DAMN FIX WAS) >

Here you go guys, there's a full guide to solving the problem on this blog post: >

Thank God for wayback machine >

It's to early to say it's Russia, but I'm not ruling it out >

They're NATO members.  Bordering Russia.  The thing that Russia uses as an excuse for invading Ukraine, saying "we can't let a country on our border become a NATO member", except they already did with Latvia and Lithuania (and Estonia), and nothing happened.  Except for those countries not becoming the next Ukraine/Georgia/Chechnya. >

r/NonCredibleDefense is salivating right now. >

In the world of geo-politics, this is what would be referred to as "unfortunate timing" >

The Baltics are the next stop for Putin. Ukrainian bravery has kicked Putin right in the fork and put a stop to his next step. Latvians are doing everything they can to help Ukraine. >

Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia are all NATO members, if Putin does any funny business he's well and truly fucked. >

I know. Putin wants to force the issue and test the Article 9 devotion by all other members. Putin believes it will fail. >

putins track record of predictions has not been that great lately.
he's 10 months into a 10 day war. >

Crazy. It feels like it's been a few years. >

Well I mean Russia took Crimea, Donetsk, and Luhansk in 2014 sooo... >

*Parts of Donetsk and Luhansk. 
It is important to stress that prior to Feb Russia held the minority of the land of both Luhansk and Donetsk Oblasts. So the self-proclaimed Donetsk and Luhansk Republics werent even all of Donetsk and Luhansk Oblasts. In fact the cities of Donetsk and Luhansk were well-within artillery range of the Ukrainian frontlines. 
The frontline between Ukraine and Russia is still relatively fixed outside Donetsk city. Its only really Luhansk Oblast that they have managed to firmly secure since the invasion. They captured most of Zaporizhzhia Oblast, but were unable to threaten Zaporizhia City. They've since been relegated to the left bank (East) of the Dnieper River in Kherson Oblast. They've been almost totally pushed out of Kharkiv Oblast.
Its important to clarify this because until the full-scale invasion Russia did not have de facto control of Luhansk and Donetsk Oblasts; instead merely the cities themselves and the countryside between the cities and the Russian border. Which was part of what was so infuriating about Biden's attempted compromise that Russia militarily trying to take Luhansk and Donetsk Oblasts would be seen as a minor escalation. It was the height of weakness and definitely gave confidence to Putin's ambitions.
And even in the areas that they have de facto control of there is active resistance. Occupation authorities' police officers have quit in Melitopol, Mariupol and Donetsk cities because of concerns for their safety. Due to things like IED attacks against member of the occupation authorities. Ukraine is getting high-quality targeting data from civilians with mobile phones in occupied areas and it is problematic enough that Russian soldiers are seizing and searching mobiles.
It must be stressed that the support for a Russian annexation was very limited within Donetsk and Luhansk, let alone wider Ukraine. And this is important to stress because Russia is seeking to create a myth internationally that they had popular support within the areas occupied since 2014, so those areas are rightfully theirs.
They did not have popular support in those areas. They do not have popular support in those areas. And those areas are not rightfully theirs. >

By the end of the year no one will have gas pipes anymore.
And by 2024 someone in Russia will complain how no one is buying their gas :/ >

Already nobody's buying their gas. >

Putin looks around an says.  Wasn’t me >

And if evidence says otherwise, tRump will tweet that he believes Putin.  “Why would it be him?” >

What Trump got to do with it ? Sounds like some has Trump syndrome >

Well, you gotta admit he's probably the only guy left on the planet that actually believes whatever Putin says. >

Source say it high power potato gun >

Good time to be a pipeline repairman
