Mexico: 3 mile pipeline exploded killing 23, injuring 32, destroying 32 homes

MEXICO CITY — A pipeline exploded in central Mexico early Sunday as thieves were trying to steal oil, killing at least 23 people and sending rivers of flaming crude through city streets. Authorities estimated that the explosion and resulting spill affected a 3-mile (5-kilometer) radius. The principal explosion, followed by four additional minor blasts, injured at least 32 people and forced hundreds to flee the city of San Martin Texmelucan, 55 miles (90 kilometers) east of Mexico City. It also destroyed 32 houses and damaged 83.  "We saw rivers of fire in the streets," Valentin Meneses, interior secretary for the state of Puebla, where San Martin is located, told Milenio Television. Meneses said the explosion, which happened before dawn Sunday, was apparently provoked by thieves trying to steal crude oil. "They lost control because of the high pressure with which the fuel exits the pipeline," he said, adding that the oil began to flow down the city's streets and into a nearby river. The state-owned oil company Petroleos Mexicanos, or Pemex, said in a statement that it had shut down the pipeline.


A lot of fun numbers in this one. I bet there is no chance of this being a false flag.

I wonder who those "thieves" work for, or if they even exist at all.

If you're caught up in this violence here's what I suggest, make your way up to Canada. It's pretty tame here. Next to no violence. But we have cold winters. We had a -50.8 F day only 2 years ago. So much for global warming. See the report below:

I guess America needs to prepare for the thieves.  They are here already in many cities.  This includes Detroit where the copper wiring is stripped from street lights.

Rick Perry sure hasn't mentioned anything.  Guess he's ok with what is going on with the Mexicans and the border?  Has he asked Obama for help since he shipped off the National Guard a long time ago?

I can't begin to think of voting for Rick Perry.  Who wants another president who doesn't care about our own American Citizens enough to even protect their lives?  You would think we'd be in a state of War with Mexico over what is going on!

I wonder what our Troops think?  They are "over there" when we need them here on the Mexican Border!
