Coming soon to a street near you.



This is what will be happening in Fort Worth when there are 3000-5000 gas wells and 200-500 miles of gas gathering pipeline network in the city. This will be the legacy of Mike Moncrief and Carter Burdette, both of whom knew or should have known that this danger would be visited upon the citizens. Look at the size of this fire that began as an explosion. Chesapeake and XTO plan to put pipelines like this within 10 feet of the foundations of homes. Even if buried 20 ft deep, as they have claimed they would do, there would be no safety from this kind of holocaust, because such explosions routinely blast craters. One such crater in Palo Pinto County in recent years was reported to be the size of a football field.

This danger is the reason why there has been so much outside money dumped on Eric Fox's campaign. Moncrief does not want any independent thought on the City Council.
