Fiery natural gas pipeline rupture west of Edmonton prompts Alberta Wildfire response

Fiery natural gas pipeline rupture west of Edmonton prompts Alberta Wildfire response
A wildfire sparked Tuesday after a pipeline ruptured west of Edmonton, sending up a large plume of flames and smoke that was visible from many kilometres away.
It happened in Yellowhead County, where several gas plants and gas wells are in the region, with the pipeline in question operated by TC Energy. The fire was visible from a considerable distance, including along Highway 16.
The energy company said it responded to a pipeline rupture involving the NGTL natural gas system approximately 40 kilometres northwest of Edson in Yellowhead County.
“TC Energy received notification about this incident at approximately 11 a.m. MT and immediately activated our emergency response procedures,” a statement said, adding the company was co-ordinating with first responders.

Pipelines have tons of pressure sensors and dont just rupture on they own without any warning.

corruption incompetence or malice, could be anything really.

They magically rupture when Stephen Guilbeault is near.

Really?

[@bumblebee6686]

😂 you work for the pipeline?

[@KayJay940]

@bumblebee6686 i wrote the code to monitor well and pipe data with hundreds of points of input. Yes. For one company anyway. I didnt make the sensors just read the output.

[@westcoastwoodsman2289]

"It caught fire" gee, I wonder how that happened?

[@alancadieux2984]

When natural gas or propane flow thru a pipe, it rolls over on itself creating static electricity the same way as air in the clouds when you see tall thunderheads, if the pipe breaks the static electricity causes it to ignite instantaneously in contact with air because it is no longer grounded by the pipe. This is why copper lines used to bring propane into a furnace inside of a house have ground rods and cables on them.
