Quote: "Officials of a city more than 50 miles northwest of Waterloo have asked residents to stay at least 100 yards away from a bridge that partially collapsed. Charles City police chief Hugh Anderson said there’s a possibility of falling debris near the Charley Western Bridge or that it could collapse completely. 'We’re trying to urge people to stay off because it could obviously be at a critical point right now,' Anderson said. An archway of the bridge on the Cedar River pulled away from the structure Saturday morning, and part of it collapsed."

http://hisz.rsoe.hu/alertmap/database/?pageid=event_desc&edis_id=ED-20170415-57853-USA

Quote: "A subsidiary of BP is reporting a crude oil spill on Alaska's North Slope. BP Exploration Alaska Inc. told state regulators Friday that oil is spraying from a well onto a pad and possibly onto the snow-covered tundra. The Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation says the spill is ongoing and the volume is unknown. BP employees discovered an uncontrolled natural gas leak that was accompanied by the spray of crude oil. 3-course dinners for $32 starting April 2. BP and state regulators are investigating the cause. State officials say a cleanup will begin once the release has been controlled."

Note: Not sure what the 3-course dinners for $32 has to do with it, but hey, I guess people near the oil spill need to eat too!

2017-04-24 - Ammonia leaks at Pier 38 in coastal Honolulu (Hawaii):
http://hisz.rsoe.hu/alertmap/database/?pageid=event_desc&edis_id=HZ-20170425-57981-USA

Quote: "At least 15 people were treated for exposure to ammonia Monday after a major leak at Pier 38. One person was transported to a hospital. Meanwhile, officials have evacuated at least 100 people from the area near Hawaiian Ice. Authorities say some 6,500 pounds of the chemical leaked in the area, though the cause of the leak was not immediately clear. First responders were called to the scene about 5 p.m., and more than 40 firefighters are at the scene. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, ammonia is highly irritating to the eyes and respiratory tract."

Note: How do they know it was 6500 pounds of ammonia if they don't know the source? Are they running around weighing the atmosphere? The fishing ship 'Elizabeth' just burst into flame while docked at Pier 38 in Honolulu too, mentioned in the 2017-04-20 update. If that's a coincidence, that's a huge one, to have a ship fire and a gas hitting people on the same pier at the same dock in the same coastal city within 4 days. Considering the 'credibility deficit' with things the authorities say these days, I wouldn't even be so sure that was ammonia...
