11. Debris from gas well falls from the sky

Evidently there are other dangers from drilling in a populated area:

'Harlan City Police Cpl. George Young said “his understanding” of the incident was that while the company Magnum Hunter Resources Corporation was drilling for gas on Grays Knob mountain, a 4-inch ceramic ball, weighing approximately one pound was deflected into the Harlan ARH Hospital’s direction, making a hole in the ground approximately 6-inches wide and 5-inches deep.” He said the balls were supposed to be deflected toward the mountains and he felt it was an equipment malfunction which caused the ball to fall into a populated area. He said it was “just an odd coincidence.”

Harlan ARH Hospital CEO Dan Stone said two employees of the hospital were outside “enjoying the beautiful weather” when they observed an object hit the ground causing debris to come up from the ground."
