Leroy Blowout (PA): Just Another "Unintended Return"?

Just so we're all clear: THIS IS NOT A SURFACE SPILL! This crap erupted from beneath the surface. The spray pattern on vegetation surrounding ground zero for this eruption spreads out at LEAST 25 feet or more in all directions. More to follow. Thank you, Don Williams, for this video report. This is a nightmare. Related news: LINK DEP issues statement...

Another "unintended return"? It sounds like you inadvertently returned a Christmas gift to K-Mart, but you hadn't MEANT to return THAT gift. No, they hadn't INTENDED to ruin another stream with muddy sludge- it just HAPPENED. Well, until these blunders stop happening for at least a week, I'd like to see NY hold off on fracking. It is not an exact enough science yet, OBVIOUSLY. They are ruining the countryside and for what? For extra salaries for the CEOs of the gas companies and not much gas at all. What are these people thinking? Do they have no love for their children and grandchildren? Do they WANT their future family members to grow up in the sludge left behind from fracking? Personally, I believe that the CEOs do not care about anybody except themselves- they want big money and they want it now and to heck with the consequences paid by others.
