Eyewitnesses Spot Gas Hub Explosion in Austria

On December 12, 2017 an explosion ripped through a major natural gas facility in Austria, claiming one life and injuring more than a dozen others. Dataminr first alerted clients to the blast from a local eyewitness who shared a photo of the flames.


The event impacted gas supplies across Europe and had knock-on effects for businesses across the energy sector. News of the explosion sent gas futures soaring. Dataminr for Finance clients were given early insight into this breaking story before the market moved.
