A massive gas well known as the Big Monca on Indian Creek, Tyler County, W. Vaetrock, blew itself out after days of monstrous pressure and flame. Reports describe earth tremors, roaring geysers, and a river of gas escaping, with experts estimating daily outputs of 60 to 120 million cubic feet. Even after stopping attempts, the well continued to vent, wrecking the surrounding area and drawing comparisons to a spectacle of terrifying magnitude.
