Bradford County Well Blowout
From the news so far:
"Bradford County's director of public safety said a Chesapeake well went out of control late Tuesday night. That means the well blew near the surface, spilling thousands and thousands of gallons of frack fluid over containment walls, through fields, personal property and farms, even where cattle continue to graze.
DEP is taking ground water and stream samples to determine the extent of the spill.
Officials said fluids from the well have, in fact, contaminated Towanda Creek which feeds into the Susquehanna River."

Of course, everything that happens will have no environmental impact and Chesapeake will find fault with someone else.
When will we decide we've had enough?
