A natural gas pipeline exploded early Sunday morning in New Caney, Texas, a small town just north of Houston. Excavation equipment was found near the
location of the explosion which appears to be due to an intentional puncture in the pipeline. 250 people were evacuated for a brief time while the
fire was brought under control.

In what appears to be a case of criminal mischief, a punctured pipeline exploded before dawn Sunday, causing the evacuation of 250 people but no
injuries or significant damage to nearby homes.
Residents near the pipeline said they were awakened around 4:45 a.m. by two explosions — a small one, then a large one — that sounded like thunder or
a train or tornado. The sky turned bright orange, they said.
Officials were attempting Sunday to identify suspects in a felony investigation into the explosion. One or more individuals took a subcontractor's
heavy equipment early Sunday morning and apparently began digging with it and punctured the pipeline, said Montgomery County Fire Marshal Jimmy
Williams. "We are treating this as a criminal act, one where it doesn't matter if the result was intentional," Williams said. "It's
unconscionable this was done near homes. This easily could have resulted in a fatality."
Williams said whoever was involved in the incident had to know how to operate the equipment — a trackhoe (a four-wheel excavator) and a boom truck
(the type with an arm that extends to reach power lines).

I heard that it wasn't terror related at all, Texas has had some major explosions of their pipelines in the past. What keeps causing them?
Here's the story from August 19th, I can't remember if there was ever an explanation for it.

The Ghost Troop predicted an attack in Texas earlier this year, and they even said the place, and they were right. Except the government said it
wasn't an attack, but an accident.
So the Ghost Troop predicted a "random accident," which coincidentally caused one of the biggest spikes in oil prices that I know of.
They were off by one day on their prediction, but not on the place, and later they said the reason they were off was because they made a
miscalculation (kinda like Bush).
Anyways, they predict 9/27 for the next one, and this happens yesterday...hmmmm....
If today goes uneventful, they say 11/11 is the next one.
9/27 = 1111 days after 9/11/01
11/11 = 1111

Could you please tell us what the ghost troop is?
