Chesapeake Energy Well Blowout Kills One Displaces Neighborhood

November 21, 2009 By TXsharon

A Chesapeake Energy gas well blowout killed one, injured another, caused a neighborhood to be evacuated and sent at least 6 fire fighters to the hospital. The blowout spewed natural gas methane into the air for about 30 minutes.

This well was 300 feet from a house. …like this well.

    I actually think natural gas is one of the major CAUSES of global warming. It's our bridge to extinction.

    Sympathies to your neighborhood.
    Do any drillers live there? How
    about gas & oil executives? How
    many people will die,due to unsafe practices as they continue to line their pockets?
    God be with us,help us to overcome
    the rape of your creation.
