@whosplayin. You are one stupid sob

@Jmarcum1 That was a really dumb comment. I guess you don't have anything smart to say.

Wonder how the water is at the apartment complex right next door? Or maybe the noise and rumbling of the equipment running all day and maybe all night let alone the exhaust fumes.

[Whosplayin]

@schmelonball The apartments have City water, which comes from Lewisville Lake.  There are some water wells in the area though, and I hope they are going to be getting regular testing.

What is the point of this video? What, the trucks and equipment produce exhaust? So does every car, truck and tractor trailer in the world? Get over it and let people do their jobs so we don't have to rely on foreign oil!

@cdavenport3636 The point of the video is to show what the process looks like so people can see for themselves. Yes, there is exhaust, and it's a lot more and much dirtier than typical cars and trucks. You wouldn't want to be down-wind from this for an extended period of time. BTW, this is a natural gas well and absolutely nothing to do with "foreign oil" except that both come out of the ground.

Ahhh yes, the wonderful sight of money being made. Made by workers supplying what consumers what.  It has already been proven that if consumers don't get it from the states, they are more than willing to go overseas.

There was a curfew on this job, all equipment had to be shut down and everybody off of location by 7pm.

[travillac1977]

everybody was probably just cabbed up. They are not allowed to hang out around the iron while there is pressure on it.

@EconomicResponse There were a few around, but they were mostly tending equipment. I think there were guys in the trailer, and there were some near the security shack.
