Chesapeake worker falls 40 feet down gas well shaft
Developing story from the Fort Worth Star-Telegram: a worker at a Chesapeake gas well near Cresson fell some 40 feet down a well shaft, where he was stuck for several hours before being rescued by emergency crews from several local fire departments. Early reports are that the man was eventually pulled out and transported to JPS hospital in good condition.
I had no idea those shafts were large enough for a man to fit inside. Amazing. And 40 feet is a long way down. That must have been horrifying.
