Blast at Rulison site rocks Grand Valley Colorado
The 85 year old Darrell Seamens and his 92 year old wife sat amid a shattered mirror and damaged lampshade after the Rulison blast 15 feet long and 9 inches in diameter detonated deep underground. The explosion interrupted telephone service and knocked rocks from a nearby courthouse project. Postmaster Carroll Byertrum witnessed bricks blown from the 50 year old structure as the test sought to release 1.2 billion dollars worth of natural gas. Officials warn it will take six months for underground radiation to dissipate and confirm no disruption to plans despite weather delays and legal challenges from conservationists and scientists.
