Another gas well blowout in Pennsylvania

Fracking fluid spills out of busted well head in Bradford County, contaminating surrounding farm land and a nearby stream that flows into the Susquehanna River. Residents are asked to evacuate. DEP is on site looking for environmental impacts. This incident shows how dangerous gas well drilling is and the likelihood of contamination by the drilling fluids. Millions of gallons of water laced with toxic chemicals and hydraulic fluids are used in these operations, injected into wells under high pressure. Well casings are made of cement. Fracking ponds are lined with plastic. Any cracks, tears, or quality problems and this is what can happen.
