and the natural gas explosion in Ct. that killed five people back in Feb.:http://www.heatingoil.com/blog/123290208/

the Tesoro refinery in Washington State that killed four in April: http://articles.latimes.com/2010/apr/03/nation/la-na-refinery-fire3-2010apr03 ...

I’m sure there would be more if you googled for them.

“Something” is going on - what is it? Is it just the cost of doing business?

There was another one today in West Virginia. A crew drilling a natural gas well hit an old, abandoned coal mine that was full of methane gas. The blast sent six or seven to the hospital.
