May God's healing touch be with this young mans family and friends. My son does the same type of work. These companies are making so much money, these young men are working for a living, many to support their young families. Lets all strive to do what we can for more safety regulations to be enforced, there is more than big oil money at stake here, MUCH more. Judy Thayer, Reynoldsville

Yeah,I agree. These are just kids,anyone who has worked in the drilling business or coal fields knows these young people have no idea what it takes to stay alive working in one of the most dangerous occupations in the world. It's a fast paced environment. It's up to the drillers to watch out for their men especially one that's only 20 yrs old.
But then we send them to IRAQ and they are put in the same situation.
