Anyone else wondering if these dozens of gas explosions in MA might be some kinda of cyber attack targeting SCADA systems? >> wcvb.com/article/lawren…

^^^ CLARIFICATION: I'm not saying this is a SCADA/Cyber attack, I'm saying this is how it would look if it was a dry run to observe our response gone awry

Updated map of structures burning:

1. Not from what I read. High pressure fed into low pressure lines.

^^^ The Lawrence Mayor's office says fires & explosions caused by "overpressured gas valves". Exactly what SCADA systems look after.

2. Take everything off line until we have cyber security.

[democratisphere]

12. Gas and electric are already shutdown over a wide area.

Doubt it is terrorism. Most likely someone really f'ed up!

3. I'm hearing the gas company locked out their union employees...

...over a labor dispute about ending their pensions. Apparently, they’ve been using scab labor for the past couple of weeks. “Operator error”…?

[Brother Buzz]

6. That would be THE story if it bears out

[safeinOhio]

7. Nice catch.

Sounds like they need to look at that.

[justgamma]

17. The pukes will try to place the blame

on the union members. i'd bet.

[ecstatic]

4. That's terrifying! I think cyber hackers

have a lot more control than the public is aware of.

[Grasswire2]

8. Just yesterday I read something about an attack..

.....that injured some people with disorientation, brain damage, etc. An electronic attack of some kind. Where was that?

[AndJusticeForSome]

9. The Cuba thing? n/t

[Grasswire2]

15. oh yes

Thanks.

10. He should not have tweeted that.

This is going to come down to mehanical failure, or human error.

13. Events like this are always the time to consider

how vulnerable our infrastructure is to cyberterrorism.

Even if this particular time it wasn't, I don't think it's exactly conspiracy theory to consider it.

[Agschmid]

14. Yeah it's vulnerable, it always will be.

This wasn’t it.

[moondust]

11. Weird.

I don't recall ever seeing anything like this with multiple explosions scattered around several towns and mass evacuation.

Also new are cyberattacks on utilities and elections so...maybe just a coincidence...

This looks similar from 1982: http://www.democraticunderground.com/10142156998#post22

16. The FBI has arrived to investigate

FBI agents are on the scene to assist local police in the investigation. "We are coordinating with our law enforcement partners as expected and personnel are on scene, as we normally would be in a situation like this to assess the situation," the FBI said in a statement.
