First question are you amish? Probably not since your on a computer. Accidents happen everywhere even in office jobs and schools, and driving down the road. It's life get over yourself quit your b#%chen and leave stuff alone that you don't have any idea of what your wanting to b#@ch about or just pissed off cause you haven't got a lease on your "non-working farm" I grew up on a farm too so I know how rough farmers have it and need that extra income. Next, why don't you look at the most dangerous jobs and bit&& about that you haven't done that though have you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1470105285304935024.post-6840456029085189882010-05-11T13:49:09.207-04:002010-05-11T13:49:09.207-04:00Any construction site is a dangerous environment. ...Any construction site is a dangerous environment. People are killed every day in job related accidents. It is a terrible and horrifying fact. Drill sites are no more dangerous than other construction or manufacturing jobs. We need to be diligent in safety practices. The gas companies will undoubtedly be blamed. They are blamed for everything.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1470105285304935024.post-58644356050707259442010-03-16T10:45:14.714-04:002010-03-16T10:45:14.714-04:00In the event that this individual had been tied of...In the event that this individual had been tied off, meaning wearing a body harness and lanyard this accident could have been prevented. My sympathy goes out to the family who lost their loved one and to Nomac and Chesapeake Energy. All industries have their short comings and we all try to enforce all and any safey practices. Tell me this do you tie yourself off when you go up on the roof and clean the leaves out of the gutter, I bet not accidents like this should open our eyes and realize you can be harmed at home just as easily as this worker was injured on the job. Safety starts at the house!

However, I am still very concerned about the emotional and psychological effects these accidents will have on children and adults alike when they happen within eyeshot of their front doors.Peacegirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10098424765852560323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1470105285304935024.post-21648621521339734952010-03-13T19:20:19.572-05:002010-03-13T19:20:19.572-05:00Many jobs have safety hazards, especially those in...Many jobs have safety hazards, especially those involving heavy equipment. Drilling is not the most hazardous. If the worker had been using proper safety equipment perhaps this accident would have been prevented.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
