Fireball lights up Alta sky following unexpected gas buildup at oil well

I've gained a huge appreciation for the environmental concerns in Alberta ever since reading Andrew Nikiforuk's book Saboteurs, detailing Weibo Ludwig's fight against big oil and the unsolved murder of 16-year-old Karman Willis, and stories like this one piss me off big time.

Out here in the central Canada we hear so little about what's going on out west... if I lived in Alberta I'd be wondering if any of the 157 nations at the Montreal Climate Change conference this week knows that Albertans put up with dead livestock and miscarried children while big oil (and big money) continue to insist that sour gas is safe.
