Watch: River Explodes Into Flames From Methane Coming From Nearby Fracking Sites
Max Phillips | April 22, 2016 9:54 am | Comments

So much methane gas is now bubbling up through the Condamine River in Queensland, Australia that it exploded with fire and held a large flame. Gas seeping into the river began shortly after coal seam gas operations started nearby and is growing in volume and the stretch of river affected is expanding in length.

Jeremy Buckingham and John Jenkyn stand in front of the flaming Condamine River.
