See this post for more regarding the photograph.

About 30 miles northwest of Belfield, North Dakota.

6:10 p.m. Two folks have written to say there may have been a fire/mishap at above rig. No more details.

If this is not accurate, I apologize for any misinformation.

6:13 p.m.: I've been told that NBC news/Bismarck station: just reported a GAS pocket was hit by this rig and a ressulting fire started. Several workers taken to local hospital. No deaths have been reported. This was just on 2 minutes ago. (News not on the NBC/KFYR website at the moment.)

  2. That needed to be said earlier, and I am remiss in not having said the same thing earlier.

    Gaylynn: thank you very, very much for posting.
