Default Water Well Drilling Accidents or near misses


"RH tOWNSEND" skrev i en meddelelse
om...
I am in litigation support. I have a project that I hope someone or
everyone on this list might be able to help me since you have
apparently been involved with water well drilling equipment or
involved in the industry. I am interested in any incident at anytime
since 1970 thru current. I am searching for those that were injured or
almost injured because of a falling or flying object. I am seeking
knowledge of incidents wherein injury has been suffered by anyone of a
water drilling crew member by a falling object even through to the
current time. I am also interested in reports of near misses as well.
Please feel free to call me at 1.800.308.7716 ext 4010.

Heres an impressive one for you:

Geothermal borehole exploded in the Krysuvik area in Iceland.. Most likely
due to rising preassure or component faliu

The explosion threw grey mud up to 700 meters away from the blast point..

I dont know if anyone was hurt in the blast, but I definately wouldnt want
to be around an explosion like that..

You may want to use the emailadresses on the sites to get more precise
information..

I can guess / translate some of the icelandic language, but I cant do
anything precise with it..
