I worked on the Marcellus Shale and can honestly say that the documentary is incredibly accurate. It's too bad that he doesn't cover the incidents such as the truck drivers who died from errant sparks from flashlights looking into their tankers, or the frac tank that blew and killed a man in Armstrong County PA, or the "water treatment" facility that burned to the ground when drip gas (about 1%-3%) of the production water pulled from the pits ignited the storage tanks in New Castle PA around Sept of 08 or 09 that committed insurance fraud to get the plant rebuilt, or the plant that exploded in Youngstown several months later for the same reason. I just hope Gasland 2 covers the CMU report about the increased levels of brine from 34 municipalities NOT set up to treat the production water discharging directly into the Ohio River watershed that leads all the way to the Gulf, and when treated with chlorination, the chemicals turn into carcinogenic bromides. And the "Bio's" methanes which are freed up and sent to the surface from the drilling and fracking process and not necessarily from water well drilling. Funny how a well can produce fresh water for decades until the land is fractured, and all of the sudden its the water well's fault. I have a relative who is a lawyer for the industry and admits 3-4% of the concrete lined wells fail. It just takes one! You know, like BP Horizon was just ONE!
