Two standard points:
1. This is called "gas explosion" by the media - not "an energy accident"
2. The potential is always there for MUCH larger accidents (with perhaps 
more than a thousand dying at once for some possile situations).

And - as some other Radsafer recently pointed out after the (third) Nigerian 
oil catastrophe during the last 20 months: Where are the activists - 
demonstrations - where are the Hollywood STARs?
