1. How Big are Those Flames? The tree corridor is 100 meters wide. The flames are 1.3 km away. The trees are 20-35 meters high. The heat is keeping the helpers away.Several maps and pictures follow that try to describe the damage done by the gas pipeline explosion at Lukhma, Russia on March 9 (?), 2024.Gas pipeline explosions are serious! If you try this at home, be certain that you are at least 1.3 km distance, to avoid being scorched.
2. Yamburg-Yelets 1 man gas pipeline facilities at Lukhma, Lat/long 63.249, 66.921 is the “pigging station.” Approximate location of the fireball “leak” and the video capture are also shown. The width and height of the gas flame in the video suggest the main facility area is obliterated.
3. Location where video was captured, facing north, towards main gas pipeline facility. Slight rise in road, tree lines, and pipeline configuration on left help geo-locate this spot. Image from Google Earth “street view.” Road and pipeline corridor here is 100 meters wide (big trees to big trees); smaller trees are post-pipeline newer growth. Flames from gas explosion were 1.3 km away. Flame height, based on tree height, must have been at least 500 feet. Truck drivers located here probably could not proceed closer, due to heat of the flames.
4. Yamburg-Yelets 1 man gas pipeline facility at Lukhma, seen from NASA FIRMS data on March 10, 2024. No flaring or hot spots shown by NASA for the last 7 days. I conclude that the explosion is massive enough that NASA is withholding these data. Location of video capture shown with red arrow.Yamburg-Yelets 1 man gas pipeline facility at Lukhma.

5. One example of NASA data nearby, at Luginetskiy oil field, Tomsk Oblast. Here are two gas flare locations, shown in yellow, detected in the last 72 hours by NASA. This example shows the detection limits of the FIRMS system. Actual flaring here is about 500 mmcf/d, based on an estimate from a previous field visit.
6. Luginetskiy oil field, Tomsk Oblast – gas flare locations shown in red. No flaring of gas detected by NASA since midnight.Based on the size of these flare pits compared to the size of the flames at the Lykhma explosion, I predict the facility is badly damaged over a wide area. It is doubtful that anything flammable remains, and melted steel can be expected in a large area.

What’s this juicy nugget of news?!
Wonderful!
To the next one boys. Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦
Good work keep it up
I’m sure that’ll buff right out.
Excellent Maths.
Ruzzki Maths: quarter sack of onions and a cheap yogurt maker to the widow.
Well done! Thank you!
I am assuming that on the first slide “Russia on May 9(?), 2024” actually means March 9, 2024.
“If you try this at home…” 😶🤣
Okay, I’m stupid. What’s the answer?
Kill their children up close and in person; kill their infrastructure wherever you can reach. Seems a winning combo, thanks for the math.
Slava Ukraini.
It’s hard to say, considering the glare on the camera. It’s certainly intense.
Hey, Putin. Lykhma nuts!
This is a top quality post and analysis. Very well done and thank you!
Not a good look if your country is a gas station.
Holy Shit. This facility is literally cooked. GOOD!. Blow another one up and keep blowing them up. Let the Scumbag Pootler explain why the country is being starved. FUCK PUTIN!
