Oil Well Explosion

An oil well explosion in southern Illinois has killed two people and injured five others. Medical helicopters flew four of the injured victims from the scene of the explosion Wednesday morning west of Crossville, Ilinois. The County Sheriff's Department reported that Mason Well Servicing was working to cement a finished well when the explosion occurred. The fire was under control by the afternoon. Burns are a terrible thing to suffer. My brother was burned when he was 14 and spent about 4 months in the burn ward of the best hospital in our State. He had to have skin grafting and lost alot of the use of his fingers of his left hand. I sure hope these burned people will be alright.
