Drilled for a HP and caused a natural gas explosion!

Any news worthy story. Good things to watch at the Cinema, Theatre, on TV or have you read a good book lately?

Shocking, a sad one to read. Should have at least had gas monitoring with remote read fitted after the initial find. I wonder what they did with the borehole itself after they hit gas? Can't just pour a half dozen blue circle bags in and call it done. :(

Also makes me wonder about any historical fracking in the area?
