Fracking Equipment Malfunctions

{Harlan, Kentucky}...Magnum Hunter Resources Corporation Manager Russell Hamilton says the company was using hydraulic fracturing, called "fracking," to drill for gas on Grays Knob Mountain Friday morning when the apparatus used to catch balls failed, and a 4-inch ceramic ball, weighing approximately one pound was ejected, embedding itself in the ground near the ARH Hospital. The ball created a 6-inches wide and 5-inch-deep hole. Hamilton says company officials are taking measures to make sure it doesn't happen again.
