From what they guy told me, once the gas rises and acquires a 5 to 15% oxygen content all bets are of for anybody in a buddy holly special that throws a spark or electrical charge. I am obviously no engineer or chemist and don't fully understand what it would take to ignite/explode the gas but I aint going anywhere near or downwind from them again.

Additionally, all those big gas towers you used to see in the big towns and cities are all gone, remember the huge cylinders that used to rise and fall, and are replaced by those gas pumping and venting stations, so they have some serious pressures at those network junctions
