BillHustonBlog: RECENT BLEVEs - cause by Propane gas

Sent to us from our friends in Searsport ME:

When folks say - oh that can't happen - this will prove it DOES and WILL Happen.

This week is extremely important in Searsport - due to the hearings.

The following are what we are up against - these are just a few of the happenings of late involve Propane and LPG

Please cut and paste - because... it would take forever to put in the proper links - and we don't have Forever - we only have a few nights to get the people on the Searsport Planning Board to understand how DANGEROUS this proposal is. I don't care about the ugliness - - DANGER IS WHAT WE FACE!

I've tried to pull out the important ones - the educational ones - the research ones - and then the ACTUAL ONES _ HOW HORRID CAN IT GET?????
