<b>Dear Friends and Donors--</b></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
First I want to say THANK YOU to everyone who has supported me over the years. </div>
<div>
Either financially, or shared my videos or blog posts, or just given me encouragement</div>
<div>
and moral support. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<b>I have been sitting in front of my computer crying uncontrollably for the last 30 min.</b></div>
<div>
<b>Trying to find a way to say something to you all. </b></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
I urgently need about $5,000 in order to keep doing this work.</div>
<div>
<b>If I don't raise at least $1,400, I will be evicted and HOMELESS on Oct 9th. </b></div>
<div>
<b>This is less than 1 week. </b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
The breakdown is as follows. I need about $2,235 for basic living</div>
<div>
expenses, and $2,634 in program expenses. </div>

I have a VERY SERIOUS pending legal matter</div>
<div>
which I am lucky to have a very good attorney, (pro bono).</div>
<div>
But I am prohibited from speaking about it other than this:</div>
<div style="margin-left: 40px;">
</div>
<div style="margin-left: 40px;">
Hi, some of you may know I was scheduled to appear in Broome
County Supreme court on October 11 in an action filed by Cabot Oil
and Gas Corporation, and its subsidiary Gassearch Drilling
Services Corporation to compel my being deposed in Cabot's
Pennsylvania.action against Ray Kemble.<br />
<br />
I want to report that I am being represented in this matter by
attorney Rachel Treichler, and that the October 11 hearing date
has been adjourned. A new hearing date has not yet been set.<br />
<br />
Many thanks to my friends and supporters during this very challenging time in my life. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
I have been personally attacked, blocked, banned, censored, betrayed,
malaigned, slandered, abused and/or abandoned by SO MANY GROUPS!!!</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
including (for example)<b> No Fracked Gas Cayuga,</b> who <b>USED MY DATA</b> on the safety</div>
<div>
of Virtual Pipeline #BombTrucks in the Tompkins County "Strongly Worded Resoultion"</div>
<div>
used to defeat the power plant, <b>WITHOUT CREDIT</b>, as they </div>
<div>
</div>
<div style="margin-left: 40px;">
a) blocked me from participating in 3 public events on a topic where I am subject matter expert </div>
<div style="margin-left: 40px;">
b) presented MY DATA AS THEIR OWN while getting important details wrong,</div>
<div style="margin-left: 40px;">
c) when I tried to negotiate in good faith some remedy, like civilized
adults do, I WAS ISSUED A LEGAL THREAT FOR MENACING!!!!! (Bullshit. I
will show you all the emails)</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
I am NOT suicidal. </div>
<div>
I want to live. </div>
<div>
I have much more work I want to do.</div>

A fireman in Otsego County NY says this to a fellow
fireman, just before entering an extremely hazardous scene: an XNG
(Xpress Natural Gas) high-pressure CNG truck rollover. I call them <a class="_58cn" data-ft="{"type":104,"tn":"*N"}" href="https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/bombtrucks?source=feed_text&epa=HASHTAG"><span class="_5afx"><span class="_58cl _5afz">#</span><span class="_58cm">BombTrucks</span></span></a>.<br />
<br />
The payload was approximately 500,000 scf of mostly methane: 11 tons of
gas. These tanks are under extremely high pressure, and are subject to
both explosion and hot, intense fire which can burn like a blowtorch for
an hour or more.<br />

Subject: Cabot Oil and Gas: Cease and Desist!<br />
To: Barrette, Amy L. <<a href="mailto:amy.barrette@bipc.com">amy.barrette@bipc.com</a>><br />
<br /></div>
<br />
<div dir="auto">
<div dir="auto">
Ms. Barrette, </div>
<div dir="auto">
<br /></div>
Let me make this very clear.<br />
<div dir="auto">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div dir="auto">
<b>I am in fear my personal safety. YOU (Cabot and agents) ARE VIOLATING MY CONSTITUTION, CIVIL, and STATUTORY RIGHTS. </b></div>
<div dir="auto">
<br /></div>
<div dir="auto">
I do not trust you, or any of Cabot's agents, who have stalked me, followed me, acted in bad faith, invaded my privacy, harassed me, threatened me, bullied me, <span style="font-family: sans-serif;">including physical assault, </span>defamed me, and are now abusing the courts punitively against me, for at least seven years.</div>
<div dir="auto">
<br /></div>
<div dir="auto">
This includes Energy In Depth, Natural Gas Now, Tom Shepstone, Rachel Colley/Bunzey, Nicole Jacobs, Joe Massaro, Bill Desrosiers, WellSaidCabot, George Stark, Madison Weaver, Marcellus Drilling News, Jim Willis, Phelim McAleer, Victor Furman, Frank George Chernega, John "Jack" MacArthur, and others. </div>
<div dir="auto">
<br /></div>
<div dir="auto">
Upon Information and Belief, Cabot Oil and Gas has a paid placement on Google, a video which shows up when one searches for "Bill Huston Blog", which was shot by Vic Furman, published by EID Marcellus, which is or was funded by Cabot directly or indirectly through the 501c6 trade association IPAA, with the defamatory title "Bill Huston Meltdown". This paid placement has existed since 2012 (seven years), yet is not identified as a paid placement. Since Google declares their Page Rank is determined organically through links , people assume this placement is due to popularity. It is thus fraud as well as defamation. <b>This paid placement has caused me substantial damage to my reputation, personal friendships, and has impacted my ability to raise funds. </b></div>
<div dir="auto">
<br /></div>
<div dir="auto">
Upon Information and belief, Cabot's involving me in this case <b>has nothing to do with your allegations that I have material evidence to support your claims against Mr. Kemble</b>, but are in fact, abusing the courts PUNITIVELY AGAINST ME solely because, </div>
<div dir="auto">
<br /></div>
<div dir="auto">
a) I helped Mr. Kemble defend against your attacks against his life and property, </div>
<div dir="auto">
<br /></div>
<div dir="auto">
b) for my other work for a decade, exposing the harms of gas drilling activities, and fighting natural gas infrastructure projects, such as the Constitution Pipeline, and Type-4 CNG Bulk-Haul "Virtual Pipeline" Tube-Trailers, aka, #BombTrucks (XNG, NG Advantage), which you (Cabot and agents) perceives as impacting Cabot's bottom line. </div>
<div dir="auto">
<br /></div>
<div dir="auto">
I do not intend to cooperate with your Witch Hunt against my friend Ray Kemble.<b> I intend to refile my Quash Motion with the court of jurisdiction and seek an order of protection against your threats against my person. </b></div>
<div dir="auto">
<span style="background-color: #ffe082;"><br /></span></div>
<div dir="auto">
<b style="background-color: #ffe082;">I HAVE NO MATERIAL EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT EITHER OF YOUR BOGUS CLAIMS AGAINST RAYMOND KEMBLE. I have NO TESTIMONY to offer which can support either of your claims against Mr. Kemble. </b></div>
<div dir="auto">
<br /></div>
<div dir="auto">
As I stated in my brief, I only casually knew Mr. Kemble during the time of the alleged events of your two claims against Mr. Kemble. <b>I only came to know and work with him closely AFTER you filed your 2017 action against him.</b></div>
<div dir="auto">
<br /></div>
<div dir="auto">
I am not a party to this case. I am not mentioned in the complaint. </div>
<div dir="auto">
<br /></div>
<div dir="auto">
Your claims against Mr. Kemble in the verified complaint are based on perjurous and false statements made by George Stark. Mr. Stark admitted to an AP reporter on Feb 4 that Cabot's claims against Mr. Kemble are bogus, and in fact you are only using this case to seek punishment against others: </div>
<div dir="auto">
<br /></div>
<div dir="auto">
<i>"This is Cabot vs. the money that's behind this. These are paid activists, paid actors on behalf of Food & Water Watch and the like.... Some will say that, you know, again Cabot is going after a local voice. <b style="background-color: #ffe082;">And that's nothing further from the truth</b>. <b style="background-color: #ffe082;">We are actively going after those that are funding. These billionaire groups are funding these mouthpieces."</b> -- Binghamton</i> Press & Sun, "Gas driller Cabot backs off demand to have Susquehanna County man thrown in jail", 2/4/2019</div>
<div dir="auto">
<br /></div>
<div dir="auto">
<div dir="auto" style="font-family: sans-serif;">
<b style="background-color: #ffe082;">I demand that you CEASE AND DESIST all such activities, including stalking, harassment, defamation, threats, surveillance, bullying, personal attacks, and intimidation against me.</b></div>
<div dir="auto" style="font-family: sans-serif;">
<b style="background-color: #ffe082;"><br /></b></div>
<div dir="auto" style="font-family: sans-serif;">
<b style="background-color: #ffe082;">I demand that you remove all videos, photos, podcasts, audio recordings, blog posts, online comments and other published statements made by your agents which include my name and/or image. </b></div>
<div dir="auto" style="font-family: sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="auto" style="font-family: sans-serif;">
I demand that you (Cabot and agents) stay 200'ft away from me at all times. You are not authorized to possess my home address or divulge it to others, and <b>you only obtained this information under duress and threats of imprisonment. </b>You are directed to delete this from all records. </div>

<div dir="auto" style="font-family: sans-serif;">
<b>I do not authorize you sending mail or packages to my home, or doing surveillance upon me at any time. I do not authorize you to investigate me in any way.<u> I consider such activities criminal harassment, and threats to my personal safety. </u></b></div>

You are directed to send any letters to me BOTH by email <a href="mailto:WilliamAHuston@gmail.com" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">WilliamAHuston@gmail.com</a>, and to: PO Box 22, Endicott NY 13761. </div>

<b>You are not authorized to call me on my personal cell number, as you already have. You are not authorized to posess this number.</b> You are not authorized to divulge this number to anyone. You should delete this number from all your records. Upon Information and Belief, you obtained this number via illegal means. </div>
<div dir="auto" style="font-family: sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="auto" style="font-family: sans-serif;">
ONLY If you have a summons for me, then I direct you to a) call me on 607-296-0671, AND email me at <a href="mailto:WilliamAHuston@gmail.com" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">WilliamAHuston@gmail.com</a> giving me 48 Hours Notice (only counting hours M-F).

<br /></div>
<div dir="auto" style="font-family: sans-serif;">
If you do not cooperate with these demands, then I will seek whatever remedies and protections are afforded to me under law. </div>

<b><br /></b>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div dir="auto">
<b>First, check the new Ring of Fire show about Ray: </b><a href="https://youtu.be/fChkuttYk0Q" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/fChkuttYk0Q</a></div>
<div dir="auto">
<br /></div>
<div dir="auto">
Cabot's Disparagement SLAPP case against Ray is still ongoing. Cabot has been trying to dispose Ray and 3 of his friends for 6 months, unsuccessfully. The friends are: Craig Stevens, Julanne Skinner, and me. Cabot wants Depositions and also personal documents like bank records. </div>
<div dir="auto">
<br /></div>
<div dir="auto">
Ray's house has been under near constant surveillance since early December. I have been followed at least twice by Cabot's goons. We've called the PA State Police dozens of time, and they do nothing. They claim it's legal. I have cited 3 criminal statutes, but still nothing.</div>
<div dir="auto">
<br /></div>
<div dir="auto">
It's really insane how corrupt the PA government is. There is nothing here uncorrupted by Gas Money. You'd honestly never believe it unless you saw it with your own eyes. </div>
<div dir="auto">
<br /></div>
<div dir="auto">
There is a major hearing on Ray's case on Monday, Feb 4th at 8:45 AM. I know it's a bad time of year to travel, but would be great to see some friends.</div>
<div dir="auto">
<br /></div>
<div dir="auto">
Craig, Bill, and Julanne all will argue their Motions to Quash. Cabot has a motion for Contempt against Ray and want him arrested. </div>
<div dir="auto">
<br /></div>
<div dir="auto">
BTW, Ray just had major abdominal surgery. He's been quite sick for a year. He is trying to recover and heal, and he's being STALKED and HARRASED by Cabot's Goons. But THEY are the ones who contaminated HIS water!</div>
<div dir="auto">
<br /></div>
<div dir="auto">
No one should have to live like this!!!</div>
<div dir="auto">
<br /></div>
<div dir="auto">
Oh, and Ray's attorney Rich Raiders has botched this case badly. Do you watch the Ring of Fire segment, where they talked about the "opportunity of Discovery" upon Cabot Oil and Gas? Well Rich Raiders hasn't made ONE SINGLE discovery request upon Cabot! he has also divulged confidential, privileged info to Cabot's atty multiple times, even placed a confedential email from Ray ON TO THE RECORD! and now WANTS OUT. </div>
<div dir="auto">
<br /></div>
<div dir="auto">
Ray sent me photos "of [his] bloody ass" and asked me to send them to anyone who doubts his medical condition. </div>
<div dir="auto">
<br /></div>
<div dir="auto">
That's the update. </div>
<div dir="auto">
Over and out for now.</div>
<div dir="auto">
<br /></div>
<div dir="auto">
Grateful to whomever can PayPal me <span class="m_7495753551379957563money">$60</span> to keep my phone on. <b>My total urgent needs are nearly <span class="money">$6000</span></b>. That's just to catch up, break even.</div>

QUOTE:</div>
<div style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">
<div style="margin-left: 40px;">
(fluff abou about "renewable natural gas", "peak day offsets" and "heat pumps" deleted. Here's the real matter:)<br />
<br />
<b>“This program will help us maintain reliable service</b> so that our
customers can <b>keep their homes and businesses warm and comfortable,
while helping to support state and local energy goals,”</b> said Marc
Huestis, Con Edison’s senior vice president, Gas Operations. “However,
these measures do not eliminate the need for a new natural gas pipeline
to keep up with our region’s energy needs.” ....<br />
<br />
The measures – which were proposed by respondents to a Con Edison competitive solicitation - include:
<br />
<ul>
<li>...(snip)...<br />
</li>
<li><b>The construction of two to five compressed natural gas (CNG) and
liquefied natural gas (LNG) storage sites in Westchester County. The
supply would reduce the need for conventional natural gas pipeline
supplies by 40,000 dekatherms on peak winter days.</b></li>
</ul>
<b>The company is seeking $305 million in funding for the program [FROM RATEPAYERS!]. </b>The
maximum increase in the gas bill when the program funds are fully spent
around 2025 would be approximately 1.5 percent for an average
residential or small business customer. For a typical residential
heating customer, this would be about $2 per month. But that does not
include savings and environmental benefits the company expects the
program to produce for customers.
<br />
....<br />
Con Edison is working with potential partners to identify possible
locations for the renewable natural gas, CNG and LNG facilities.
<br />
<b>The CNG and LNG storage plants would accept fuel transported by
trucks. </b>The fuel would be stored and flow into Con Edison’s gas
distribution system on winter days when demand is high. The LNG would be
stored in tanks. On cold winter days, the supply would be replenished
with additional deliveries by truck.

now each day, up to 5 per hour! </div>
<div>

<div>
There are TWO NEW FACILITIES approved and/or under construction
in
Susquehanna County NOW. These new facilities are even larger and
may be
capable of 150-200 CNG loads per day. </div>
<div>

<div>

<div style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
1: It looks like they are mostly headed into NY</div>

2: NY has SEQRA which requires an EIS (PA for example, has nothing

<b>Attention Sidney, NY!! </b></h2>

<div class="gmail-_1mf gmail-_1mj">
Xpress Natural Gas (XNG) has a new "Drop Yard" for their High Consequence <span class="gmail-_5zk7" start="74">#BombTrucks</span> on the NE corner of NY-7 & NY-8, behind Catskill Shed Co. It is a muddy, UNFENCED lot! </div>

<div class="gmail-_1mf gmail-_1mj">
<b><br /></b>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><b>Take Action Below!!</b></span><br /><br />What's a "Drop Yard"? It is a swap point. Some drivers bring up full trailers from Forest Lake PA, unhook it and leave it there. Then they pick up an empty and take it back.<br /><br />Other drivers bring an empty down from Manheim, drop it, and pick up a full one, take it up to Manheim.<br /><br />For about a month or so, XNG has been observed to be taking a new route up NY-8 to Utica, and then to Manheim. We think they are taking this new route due to the resolutions against the trucks in Otsego Co.<br /><br />This route is longer than the 205->28 route, so we are **guessing** this new drop yard (similar to 440 Prentice Rd. in Vestal) is to give an intermediate stop, to shorten two legs of the route, to allow drivers to complete 2 round trips in a 14 hr shift.<br />

These HAZMAT vehicles are being left UNATTENDED for hours at a time.
They have risk of EXTREME CONSEQUENCES like fire or explosion beyond any
other vehicles on the road. They are known to spontaneously vent. They
could be tampered with by some kids (talk about having a bad day!) or
used for a terroristic purpose. </div>

<span style="font-size: small;">I have a major new investigation up, concerning a rollover of an XNG High-Pressure, Type-4 CNG Bulk-Haul Virtual Pipeline Tube Trailer (a/k/a, "#BombTruck") in Albany County, just 2.0 miles from the Governor's Mansion. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">My investigation has revealed that the first responders </span><br />
<ol type="a">
<li><span style="font-size: small;">Made several errors, putting first responders and the public in harms way, </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">Did not understand what they were dealing with,<br />
</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">referred to it as a "garbage hauler", <br />
</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">did not identify it as HAZMAT for a full 16 minutes,</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">mistakenly referred to the CNG tanks as "empty",<br />
(the tanks hold nearly a ton of methane even when "unloaded". They are never empty!) <br />
</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">Followed an entirely different protocol than with 3 prior rollover crashes and 1 subsequent,</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;">despite reporting a "possible leak" to the National Response Center, they </span>lit flares, <br />
and performed no evacuations, in violation to the Emergency Response Guide (2016: Latest Version)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">They did not close the interstate. <br />
</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">Did not transfer or discharge residual gas before moving trailer, <br />
</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">Did not call transport driver with severe injuries to Albany Medical for nearly 4 hours. </span></li>
</ol>

<br />
I have an 8-part video series I am uploading now. Parts 1-4 are online now. The remainder may take though the weekend to complete.<br />
<br />
The videos are now embedded in the blog post.<br />
Here is the direct link:<br />

<br />
I am sending this out now BEFORE all the videos have been uploaded, because I am in a critical cash crunch.<br />
<br />
I am a non-profit person. I live on donations and grants. I presently have one small grant, but it is not enough to pay my bills.<br />
<br />
I have put around 1,500 hours into my #BombTrucks research, since spring 2017 as a volunteer. At a living wage ($15/hr) this is nealy $25,000.<br />
<br />
Please note that when I work professionally, I bill out at SUBSTANTIALLY more than $15/hr. Back at the peak of the Dot Com boom, I was billing out at over $70/hr. I was making well into 6 figures. I have very marketable tech skills. So $15/hr is working cheap.<br />
<br />
But I don't want another day job! My passion is public service work!<br />
I have a substantial portfolio of my work here: <a href="http://williamahuston.blogspot.com/p/bill-hustons-fracking-resume.html">[My Fracking Resume]</a><br />
<br />
<b></b><br />
<b>I am not seeking $25,000! </b><br />
<b>(although that would be nice and would fund my work for the next year!) </b><br />
<b>I am only seeking $5,000. </b><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>This is like me working at an effective rate of $3/hr! </b></span><br />
<br />
I have already raised about $700 in donations.<br />
<b>THANK YOU TO MY DONORS!!</b><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>I have about $4,000 left to go. </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>I am in DESPERATE need for about $1,000.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<b>Why should you fund my work?</b><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: yellow;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>1: I give my work away, for free! </b></span></span><br />
<br />
<b>I never charge money for my work. </b><br />
<b>I only ask that people observe a Creative Commons License </b><br />

<b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: yellow;"><b>3. I am under attack by the Oil and Gas Industry</b>
</span></span><b><br /></b>
</b>I haven't made a big deal about this, but I am a wanted man. I understand from my friends that a Big Dude named "Jack" with a big Ford pickup truck and a super-cap (w/NY tags) <i><b>AND wearing a sidearm</b></i> is banging on the doors of my friends homes looking for me, says "I'm Bill's friend". He has a big wad of papers in his back pocket.<br />
<br />
<b><b>I know what this is about! I am wanted for deposition and "Discovery" in a PA Civil Case<u> to which I am not a party.</u> </b></b><br />
<b><br /></b>
You may have heard that <a href="https://www.desmogblog.com/2017/08/13/cabot-fracking-5-million-lawsuit-water-contamination-ray-kemble-dimock">Cabot Oil and Gas is suing Ray Kemble for $5M</a>, claiming Ray has "disparaged" their good name.<br />
<br />
Well, now I understand that Cabot is attempting to depose ME and get a SHIT TON of personal information (emails, bank records, etc) trying to find evidence to support their SLAPP suit against Ray. So I have been shifting around, laying low trying to avoid service. (They haven't found me yet!)<br />
<br />
<b>Cabot has paid for attack pieces on me for reporting their suspicious activity (<a href="https://wellsaidcabot.com/responding-to-concerns/">[1]</a>, <a href="https://naturalgasnow.org/cabot-call-hims-bill-huston-problem/">[2])</a></b><br />
Cabot has also purchased a targeted "advertisement" (really a PR hit) on me, when you search for "<a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=bill+huston+blog">Bill Huston Blog</a>". Try it! And watch what videos come up. For most people it's an Energy in Depth video shot by Vic Furman titled "Bill Huston Meltdown":<br />

This is the recommended 1/2 mile evacuation zone recommended in the 2016 Emergency Response Guide (aka, the "Orange Book" or ERG) if there is a release of gas. A call was made to the National Response Center stating that there was a "potential release of gas". <br />

high pressure Quantum trailer, loaded with about 1,500 lbs of natural gas at 200 psi, crashed at mile marker 141 on I-87 Northbound, very close to the Albany NY Capitol District. <br />
<br />
This pressure is about 400 times the pressure of utility gas coming into most city and suburban homes.<br />
<br />
The truck and trailer hit a guardrail, then rolled 270 degrees, destroying the
power unit (tractor) and seriously injuring the driver. The crash took
out 12 box beam guide rails, 16 posts, and 2 delineators.<br />

Standard procedures were not followed (according to the Emergency Response Guide): <br />
<ul>
<li>Flares were used
<br />(Let's see... CNG cargo at potentially extreme pressure... What could go wrong?!)</li>
<li>Also, 3 of 4 lanes on the Thruway remained open. </li>
<li>No evacuations</li>
<li>Pole utilities not shut. </li>
</ul>
<b>In 3 prior rollover accidents a completely different protocol was used,</b> including a) evacuations to 1/2 mile, b) 12-hour road closure, c) deactivation of pole utilities to reduce spark risk. <br />
<br />
The report of the Selkirk 1st Asst. Fire Chief says that a federal regulator, likely PHMSA, started taking command, ordered the trailer not be moved. But then someone (he thinks it was the Thruway Authority) told the feds to shove off. <br />
<br />
The driver, who was "bleeding badly from the face, hands, and feet" was
not transported to the hospital until 10:40, <i><u>2.5 hours after the event began.</u></i><br />

<b><span style="font-size: large;"><u>XNG: A PATTERN OF ABUSE of their Drivers</u></span></b><br />
<br />
<b>Drivers involved in XNG rollover accidents often do not get critical care for hours after the accident</b>. This is a pattern. But why?<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><u><b>The driver of the truck which rolled over 2/21/17</b></u> in Forest Lake did not get critical care until about 3 hours after the accident. </li>

The driver (29, F) of the XNG truck involved in the 2/21/2017 rollover
crash in Forest Lake Twp, Susquehanna Co, PA, less than 1 mile from the terminal, suffered a traumatic head
injury during the accident <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">which was potentially life-threatening.</span><br /> </b><br />
<b>She did not receive critical care for at least 3 hours after the accident. </b><br />
<br />
<b>She had suffered a traumatic and potentially life threatening head injury</b> during the crash. She was taken to the hospital with the word "Cabot" on the sign. (Cabot is the driller. It's their gas in these #BombTrucks!)<br />

Before her vital signs were taken, they made her submit to a drug test. Apparently, drug tests trump critical care at the Cabot Hospital. This is purely done to give the company a way to escape legal liability. <br />
<br />
But there are many problems with this. Drug tests are fallible. Some people who test positive for some drug may not actually be impaired. These tests<b> can not help and can only harm</b> the person in the accident needing critical care, in that it can provide a reason to terminate employment and/or deny medical benefits. <br />
<br />
IMO, the biggest problem is that focusing on drug testing the driver, is that<b> it distracts away from the job of forensics: a search for other contributing factors</b>, like <b>mechanical defects with the truck</b>, or possible <b>operational problems with how the company is doing business</b>,<i><b> <u>which could impact many other lives beyond this one accident</u>. </b></i><br />
<br />
But that kind of exposure could really hurt the bottom line. Finding any way to blame it on the driver is just the corporation saving money. The fact that the hospital (allegedly chartered to do no harm, and to administer critical care for public benefit) participates in this scheme shows just how far things have gone.<br />

<br />
Morality or ethics is apparently not in the corporate cost/benefit equation at the Cabot Hospital in Montrose. It's all about corporate profits. <b><span style="background-color: yellow;"><br /></span>BH Bottom Line: <span style="background-color: yellow;">A drug test should not take priority over administering critical care for a potentially life-threatening injury. THREE HOURS IS TOO LONG! SHE COULD HAVE DIED, or suffered permanent brain injury</span>. </b><br />
<br />
In terms of why does it happen, I believe a big part of the problem is that the first responders are trained to allow the Company Man to take control of the emergency response. These trucks are so exotic, on the Company Man really understands the best practices. Once the company takes command, then everything else falls into place. <br />

He suffered multiple injuries during the incident, including when
jumping ~6'ft out of cab Again, there was a transport to a clinic in
Vestal for a drug test. After that, the driver was returned to the
terminal, where he eventually was transported to the hospital in a private vehicle.<br />

According the the Ideal Gas Law, the relationship between pressure and mass is linear. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So if we have 24,176 lbs @ 3600 psi, we can easily calculate the mass at 200 psi:</div>

<b>This was on a Federal jurisdiction Interstate Highway</b>. Also, the trailers are permitted under the US DOT. So the Feds clearly have some jurisdiction here.<br />
<br />
But the NY State Thruway Authority (NYSTA) is has a strange shared jurisdiction with the feds on this highway. This was created by NY law PBA §352, but there must be an agreement with the feds.<br />
<br />
(I have not researched this question fully.... PLEASE leave a comment or send me an email if you know something about the legal authority of NYSTA. WilliamAHuston@gmail.com Thanks!)<br />
<br />
NYS DOT Hazmat was called out, <i><u><b>for a spill of 5 gallons of DEF fluid.</b></u></i><br />
<br />
The driver was seriously injured, but was not transported for 2 hours 40 min. The driver said the trucks lading was "empty methane tanks", but there was still approximately 2,000 lbs of explosive compressed natural gas (CNG) @ 200 psi in the "unloaded" configuration -- anything less can damage the tanks and provoke an expensive re-qualification procedure. Or else their $500k to $700k specialty tankers will be scrap.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Even unloaded, this is a HEAVY combo.<br />
By my calculation an unloaded(*) Quantum VP-Lite51 is <b>71,636 lbs++!</b><br />
<br />
(* Remember friends, these tanks are almost NEVER empty!)<br />
(++ 18,000 lbs=tractor, 2,000 lbs=base gas, 51636 lbs=container, tanks, chassis. [<a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20160303134527/www.qtww.com/product/virtual-pipeline-cng">SOURCE</a>])<br />

</span>Neither the MV-104A (accident report) nor the DOT inspection performed by NYSP notes the VIN number of the shipping container (only the trailer chassis, and the tractor). There was NO MENTION an any report of what seems like possibly the root cause of the accident: a seriously bent forward-rear-driver's side trailer wheel.<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
<br />
</span></span><span style="background-color: yellow;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>This was 2.5 miles from the Albany Capitol Complex, and 2 miles from Governor Andrew Cuomo's mansion.</b></span></span><br />
<br />
EVERY OTHER rollover crash, the road was closed for 12 hours, all utilities disconnected to prevent sparks, and tanks were vented.<br />
<br />
Question: Why was the protocol so different for this crash, so close to the State Capitol? Why did first responders fail to identify the trailer as HAZMAT, and potentially explosive? Why does NTSB not investigate each crash of a trailer like this like an airplane crash?<br />
<br />
Why does it require a couple of amateur citizen-sleuths to put this all together instead of the government regulators?<br />
<br />
I believe there were many errors here which put human lives in harms way.<br />

<br />
I was showing the FOIA'd crash photos to my friend Ray Kemble. He's a master truck driver, specializing in HAZMAT, heavy rigging / heavy hauling. He operated a tow truck for many years, so understands a bit about trucks, and truck accidents. <br />
<br />
He pointed out a feature in the photos which he thought was significant: The front-most wheel on the driver's side of the trailer has a huge dent in it, and the tire is flat. Ray said <br />
<blockquote>
"That's what caused this accident. He hit something big, some debris in the road. Must have been the size of a V8 to overcome the pressure in the tire, and to bend an aluminum wheel that much. When he hit (whatever it was), it must have sent the rear of that trailer airborne."</blockquote>

<br />
So here's my idea of what they accident really looked like:<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivycfHXJoEghaZpb9pzIYGcSnIdjZv9FEZykbYL8NUIfTOfA8_fAyYVdPWlqU25Zqfi_NhAXv6rFaMoR9ah0eH2wV4GZBzlPMGqruDL4wthQMQQtmo7_TpqOA91JEwzFNkFfw1JQOF9H4/s1600/2018-06-02+albany+xng+crash+diagram-MODIFIED+BH+Theory.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="842" data-original-width="865" height="622" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivycfHXJoEghaZpb9pzIYGcSnIdjZv9FEZykbYL8NUIfTOfA8_fAyYVdPWlqU25Zqfi_NhAXv6rFaMoR9ah0eH2wV4GZBzlPMGqruDL4wthQMQQtmo7_TpqOA91JEwzFNkFfw1JQOF9H4/s640/2018-06-02+albany+xng+crash+diagram-MODIFIED+BH+Theory.jpg" width="640" /></a>
</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span></span><br />
The combo had been executing a lane-change from the passing lane to the driving lane, according to the driver. That's the last he remembers. <br />
<br />
When the rear of the trailer hit the debris, it went airborne, it caused the power-unit to lose traction on the steer-axle. It pitched the trailer counter-clockwise (as observed from above), and probably pitched the tractor in the opposite direction, sending it out of control into the guard rail.<br />
<br />
The trailer became a 27 ton brick, pushing a 9 ton tractor, which at this point was "along for the ride", totally out of control. <br />
<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><u>FINAL THOUGHTS:</u> </b></span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>RECOMMENDATION: ALL XNG vehicles should be immediately grounded for the following reasons:</b></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1:</span><span style="font-size: large;"><u><b>Revocation of US DOT Special Permit: </b></u></span><br />
<br /><span style="font-size: small;">The </span><span style="font-size: small;">Quantum trailers XNG uses have leaked in a crash on multiple occasions:</span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">This is a violation of the US DOT Special Permit. All trailers under <b>Quantum Fuel Systems' </b><b>SP-16524 Special Permit should be IMMEDIATELY GROUNDED under all carriers (NG Advantage, etc). </b></span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">I have been following the Oil and Gas industry for about a decade. In that time, I've come across some VERY sleazy operators. But XNG has to take the prize. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">These guys have made every kind of technical error, misconfigured trucks, drivers untrained and unprepared for what to do in an accident, not knowing the risks of these vehicles, they have stiffed their contractors, like J.W. Danforth for $MILLIONS, they have violated many laws, avoid regulatory compliance, and almost never get permits which are required, paying negotiated fines amounting to pennies on the dollar. </span><br />

But of course this is RIDICULOUS! <b><span style="background-color: yellow;">There are many examples of Type-4 CNG tanks exploding</span></b> in fuel-tank service, such as the 1/27/2015 explosion of the CNG trash truck in Indianapolis, which sent heavy shrapnel 1,200'ft away.<br />
<br />
The only difference is, the tanks in XNG's #BombTrucks are bigger.... much bigger....

<u>CONCLUSIONS:</u><br />
<br />
<b>1: First Responders in the Albany crash made several errors which put human lives at risk of harm, </b>including other first responders and the general public. The procedures recommended in the ERG were not followed in several key areas.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>RECOMMENDATION: These first responders should, at a minimum, receive training so that these errors are not repeated. </b><br />
<br />
2: The Quantum VP-Lite51 (aka, "VP-650 @ 3600 psi") should be immediately grounded for violation of their Special Permit. (leaking tanks in an accident).<br />
<br />
3: <b>XNG, the company and executive management, are lawless rogues</b>, and should be jailed for crimes of lying to public officials, negligence, and malfeasance which endanger human lives. They certainly should not be doing business in New York, or Pennsylvania.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>APPEAL FOR FUNDING!!</b></span> <br />
<br />
I work in the public interest, and exist solely on grants and donations. (One of my projects is currently funded with a small grant, but it is not enough to pay my bills). <br />
<br />
I have put around 200 hours researching the Albany crash, and about 1600 hours in my research into #BombTrucks total, since April 2017. At a living wage ($15/hr), I have donated about $25,000 of my own time on this work, please other expenses relating to making FOIL requests, etc.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Out of $25,000 donated hours, I am looking for just $3,000</b></span>, centering on this Albany crash. I need this to keep going. I have many bills in arrears, and I really need a new pair of glasses!<br />
<br />
PLEASE DONATE IN ANY AMOUNT to support my work documenting the MANY hazards of Type-4 CNG carbon fiber composite <span class="gmail-_5afx"><span class="gmail-_58cl gmail-_5afz">#</span><span class="gmail-_58cm">BombTrucks</span></span>.<br />

Friends, I am researching the 6/2/2018 rollover crash of an allegedly
unloaded XNG tractor trailer traveling northbound on I-87 at ~8am on a
Saturday. </b></div>
<b><br />The
vehicle which crashed resembled the top vehicle below, on the tractor
(power unit) was a 2012 diesel Volvo rather than a CNG Freightliner as
shown here. The <i>trailer </i>is the most important feature to observe: </b><br />

Since this is a non-standard combo for XNG, I assume the volume of these is low, no more than 1 per day.
Due to the configuration (diesel tractor indicates possible extended
range), it's possible this was a transfer of an unloaded(*) vehicle to
another facility. </div>

<br />
Dear Friends,<br />
<br />
At about 4:10 PM, the afternoon on 9/13/2018 in Merrimack Valley,<br />
Essex County, Massachusetts, first responders started getting reports of<br />
basement fires, and the smell of gas all over Lawrence, Andover, and North Andover.<br />
One of the first responders reports he found "a house apparently off its foundation".<br />
<br />
The first call came in at 4:11PM: 35 Phillips Street.<br />
<br />
Then calls came in rapidly:<br />
4:13: 104 W. Broadway<br />
4:14: 7676 Sutton St., and the Corner of Baily and Phillips<br />
4:15: 575 Osgood St.<br />
4:16: 28 Springfield <br />
4:17: 19 Robinson Ct., 19 Mifflin Dr., 259 Farnum St., + fires on Adams & Abbott streets...<br />
<br />
One Mass State Police officer was told, "report to the vicinity of Lawrence<br />
for the report of multiple house fires and explosions". The officer responded<br />
to the dispatcher, "Any particular location?". And after a long pause, the dispatcher<br />
responds, "Just report to Lawrence and await further". <br />
<br />
It's just stunning to hear hour professional they all acted, keeping cool in the<br />
face of a catastrophe they were struggling to understand. <br />
<br />
Here is the radio traffic from 6 different channels in the vicinity. Most of the feeds start at around 3-4pm, and proceed for 8 hours. (one feed is only about 4 hours, due to a power outage at the radio listening location).<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: yellow;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>So here is a total of about 45 hours of audio. </b></span></span><br />
<br />
Each file covers 30 minutes. The date & time is encoded in the file name, although I believe it is off by an hour due to daylight savings time. Often the dispatcher will give time cues. <br />
<br />
(I am planning on an easier presentation, but this amount of audio is presenting some tech challenges). <br />
<br />
I paid for access to these recordings, but I am making these available for non-commercial or personal use, so that investigators can try to figure out what happened.<br />
<b> </b><br />

After living in several places across the country, Huston gravitated to the Binghamton area.<br><br>His intense interest in the "virtual pipeline" -- "bomb trucks," he calls them-- that sends 80 XNG trucks back and forth through Otsego County daily grew out of his opposition to fracking.<br><br>Fracking -- hydraulic fracturing to free natural gas from shale -- is underway in Northeast Pennsylvania, although it was banned in New York State.<br><br>"I didn't get into the fracking fight until 2010," said Huston, who calls himself the director of the Stop the Bomb Trucks Coalition. "I have a lot of talents, but the talent I was contributing was videography."<br><br>For six years, the man and his camera could be see at almost every town hall meeting where fracking was being discussed. He also interviewed several prominent figures in the local fight against natural gas drilling, including Cooperstown's Lou Allstadt and Otsego 2000 President Nicole Dillingham.<br><br>Then, in 2017, he had his first encounter with an Xpress Natural Gas truck.<br><br>"I was sitting behind this box truck, and I look up and see a HAZMAT symbol," said Huston. "I looked at that thing, and to me, I thought that was so odd to see a box truck with HAZMAT 1971." He Googled the code on the sign, and it cam back: "compressed natural gas."<br><br>From that moment on, Huston began researching the compressed natural gas trucks, gathering as much data on them as possible. He keeps an online log of all the information he collects in an online spreadsheet.<br><br>According to Huston, XNG mainly uses three different trailers, and he has a wealth of information about each one: Loaded weight, unloaded weight, carrying capacity, height, width, even potential energy of the gas in gigajoules (a measure in in the industry) for each trailer used by XNG, all laid out in an online spreadsheet for the public to observe.<br><br>For those interested, the url for the spreadsheet is <a href="http://tinyurl.com/type4trailers">tinyurl.com/type4trailers</a>.<br><br>Huston seems to always have his hear to the ground in regards to natural gas. When an XNG truck rolled over in the Town of Hartwick last year, Huston was on scene within hours taking pictures of the accident. He credits an intricate web of insider informants who tip him off.<br><br>"I have some confidential sources that clue me in," he said, "Let's just say that I have some friends that work in the New York State first responder community, and I have a source that has tipped me off about two of these (incidents) now."<br><br>As a leader in the anti-natural-gas movement, Huston has faced scrutiny from opposing camps.<br><br>But one of his most controversial moves came when Huston began calling the compressed natural gas trucks "bomb trucks". Thankfully, no XNG rig has exploded yet, but he calculates that one trailer carries the explosive equivalent of 120 tons of TNT.<br><br>According to Huston, he has received a great deal of backlash from both sides for using the term "bomb truck" to describe the XNG trucks.<br><br>"The term 'bomb truck' is scientifically valid," said Huston. "So why don't people like the term? Because it's so shocking. So they block it out."<br><br>Huston is currently traveling around New York State, holding seminars to educate people about the potential dangers of the XNG trucks that he studies. Huston held an event at the Foothills Performing Arts Center on Wednesday, Sept. 5, with fellow researcher Craig Stevens.<br><br></div><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div>--<br>William Huston: <a href="mailto:WilliamAHuston@gmail.com" target="_blank">WilliamAHuston@gmail.com</a><br>Binghamton NY<br><div style="text-align:center"><div style="text-align:center"><span></span><br><span><b>Public Service Mapping / Videography / Research</b></span><br><span></span><a href="http://WilliamAHuston.blogspot.com" target="_blank">Blog</a> -- <a href="http://facebook.com/billhuston" target="_blank">Facebook</a> -- <a href="http://twitter.com/WilliamAHuston" target="_blank">Twitter </a><span><span><span>-- <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGijK1amWOLglT3YeTyEBNQ?sub_congfirmation=1" target="_blank">Youtube</a></span></span></span><br><span><span><span></span></span></span>Document collections: <a href="http://TinyURL.com/VirtualPipelines" target="_blank">VirtualPipelines</a> -- <a href="http://bit.ly/BHDCSDimockArchive" target="_blank">BHDCSDimockArchive</a><br><span><span>Please support my work: <a href="http://TinyURL.com/DonateToBillHuston" target="_blank">TinyURL.com/DonateToBillHuston</a></span></span><br></div><span><span></span></span></div><span><br></span></div><div><br></div></div></div></div></div></div></div> Bill Huston 1http://www.blogger.com/profile/15288627254805985954noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3102011983044483938.post-16024425501264388642018-09-07T11:21:00.000-07:002018-09-10T13:20:33.571-07:00Thanks for attending #BombTrucks 101!

<div>
</div>
<div>
I was asked a question about the storage of pipe outdoors over an extended period of time.<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
Just some random thought: </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
This is based on my many-years study of pipelines and physics. </div>
<div>
I may have made an error somewhere, so please fact-check everything. </div>
<div>
I believe this is mostly correct. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Plug this into Google maps: <a href="https://goo.gl/maps/QPEoBkWxTvp"><b>42.688208, -73.955254</b></a></div>
<div>
This is a spread yard for the Constitution Pipeline. </div>
<div>
(image below)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This pipe has been sitting there since ~March 2014. </div>
<div>
So about 4 years. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
How long was it sitting after it was manufactured?</div>
<div>
Unknown. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
How long will it sit before it is finally used?</div>
<div>
Unknown. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>So it is possible that this pipe could sit around,</b></div>
<div>
exposed to the elements <b>for a decade</b> before it is finally used. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
What most people do not understand, </div>
<div>
but <b>rolled steel pipe has both stored</b></div>
<div>
<b>mechanical energy and electro-chemical energy.</b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Every section of rolled steel pipe wants to destroy itself </b></div>
<div>
<b>from the day it is made.</b> And there are two competing ways it wants</div>
<div>
to do that. </div>
<br />
<div>
The first way is mechanical energy: </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Every section of pipe is like a giant spring under tension.</div>
<div>
It literally wants to go SPROING! and unwind along helical welds,</div>
<div>
just like a roll of Pillsbury dinner rolls. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
When pipelines explode, they often unwind like this. </div>
<div>
You can see this in images from pipeline failures, like Sissonville WV:</div>
<div>

</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The second way rolled steel pipes want to self-destruct is through electro-chemical energy.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Every section of pipe has little batteries all along the surface.</div>
<div>
It has negatively charged areas (anodes) and positively charged areas (cathodes).</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQz46s-bFNYraMaCQu0xiOy0fgbp-sB_8Z3uFx5rdjYOoEbjXtVzqnhrH0vzw47Xejz_a2mSK-L-r5l5g-39Bt_sYOdLeDJZInohsqqJhi0A6PC3AX4jGK2cXVkmPZZ7O3uRILovVV4is/s1600/cp-pipe%255B1%255D-764637.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" height="412" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_6579758756640258226" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQz46s-bFNYraMaCQu0xiOy0fgbp-sB_8Z3uFx5rdjYOoEbjXtVzqnhrH0vzw47Xejz_a2mSK-L-r5l5g-39Bt_sYOdLeDJZInohsqqJhi0A6PC3AX4jGK2cXVkmPZZ7O3uRILovVV4is/s640/cp-pipe%255B1%255D-764637.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Add external water with a dissolved electrolyte, and you have a complete</div>
<div>
electrical path. The charged areas of different potential want to equalize. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Through an electro-chemical reaction, the anode will actually </div>
<div>
dissolve, it will give up charged molecules of metal.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
This is how pipelines corrode and produce wall loss. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So will a section of steel pipe fail through the release of </div>
<div>
mechanical energy, leading to deformation?</div>
<div>
Or will it dissolve into dust?</div>
<div>
It's a race and only time will tell....</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Cathodic Protection systems place "sacrificial anodes" into the ground and</div>
<div>
literally spray the area with molecules of metal. This donor anode metal (-)</div>
<div>
wants to bind to the cathode areas on the pipe (+) and hopefully spare the</div>
<div>
pipe from donating parts of itself as the anode and rust. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Now what they do is coat the outside of the pipe with something called</div>
<div>
"Fusion Bond Epoxy". This is an electrical insulator. The idea here is to </div>
<div>
make a barrier and break the electrical path and slow corrosion.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
But it gets complicated, because the layer of epoxy, which is an electrical insulator,</div>
<div>
also creates a capacitor, which is another device which stores an electrical charge!</div>
<div>
So every section of pipe is actually made of little batteries in a short-circuit configuration,</div>
<div>
and to slow do the pipe from dissolving into dust, they actually create a new problem. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Now that you understand all of this... now examine this massive structure</b>!! </div>

</div>
<div>
All kinds of questions arise! </div>
<div>
I am only smart enough to ask these questions.</div>
<div>
I do not have these answers:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
1: What kind of effects could a structure like this have upon the Earth?</div>
<div style="margin-left: 40px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-left: 40px;">
Could it affect weather? Could it alter the earths magnetic field? </div>
<div style="margin-left: 40px;">
Might the N-S or E-W orientation of the pipe matter? <br />
Could it act like a resonant tank for radio waves of a certain<br />
frequency? </div>
<div style="margin-left: 40px;">
<br /></div>
<div>
2: What kind of effects could the Earth (magnetic flux lines, radio waves,</div>
<div>
force of gravity/gravity waves, charged areas in clouds) have upon this structure?</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-left: 40px;">
Could the Earth's natural fields increase the rate of corrosion? <br />
Could this structure act like a giant transformer? <br />
What if this were struck by lightening? </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
A structure this large and this contrived IMO could <b>not only</b> increase the rate of</div>
<div>
corrosion of the pipe, but it could also produce strange hazards due to it's</div>
<div>
electrical-chemical properties. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Hope these ramblings are helpful... :)</div>

The interveners were able to introduce the photos during their cross examination of Kothari when she disclosed that the pipe had been purchased by 2011. </span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;">At first Kothari claimed the pipe was stored at a few manufacturing facilities, but when questioned about pipe being stored at the Gascoyne pipe yard, she admitted some of it was also at that location.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;"> <div>
The photos of the Gascoyne pipe yard show sections of pipeline piled up several layers high and left out in the open. The duration of time the pipes were stored without protection against the elements led the interveners to question the integrity of the pipe materials.</div>

<div>
However, Sabrina King, a member of the Dakota Rural Action group who shot the photos referred to during the hearing, claimed the pipe had been at the Gascoyne yard in North Dakota since December 2010.</div>
<div>
King's photos were taken in May of 2013. By August that year, TransCanda did take action and protect the pipe, past both of the recommended times that Schramm mentioned.</div>

Today
at 3:05 PM: multiple fire units were dispatched to 7202 State Route 28,
in Exeter, Otsego County for an XNG rollover crash. The report issued
by Otsego Emergency Management Dispatch was that the truck was leaking
gas. The trailer was manufactured by Quantum Fuel Systems, and is
believed to be a VP-Lite mode. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Rt 28 is CLOSED from 16 to Schuyler Lake. As of about 4:30, t<span class="gmail-text_exposed_show">hey
were trying to disconnect power and phone lines. First responders are
waiting on Verizon and rep from XNG from Forest Lake PA to arrive.</span> </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
As
I have reported, one of the NUMEROUS safety issues I have identified
with these trucks is their high center of gravity, making them a
rollover risk. </div>

<div>
In
fact, there have now been TWO rollover crashes in Susquehanna County of
XNG vehicles (both were Quantum VP-Lites),and also TWO MORE rollover
crashes in Otsego County (one Hexagon Titan-40, and the one today is
still unknown). </div>
