Just another day in Fracksylvania.

Can anyone else imagine one of these "accidents" happening during a summer drought, when the fields and forests are like tinder?

3. So, I'm wondering.

The tax-payer funded emergency crews from three, (count 'em) THREE different counties responded to this explosion.
Will Williams, Inc. (the owner of the compressor station) be made to reimburse the emergency crews (and the tax payers that support them) for their time and trouble?
Or is this to be yet another example of "privatized profits, socialized risk?"

6. +1.

Another 'free lunch' for the billionaires.

4. My guess--Santorum farted during one of his speeches at the station

and the plant blew up.

5. It shook houses a half-mile away.

And it is only a half-mile away from schools, according to the article.

What total insanity.
