Drone footage and eyewitness video on the ground showed the chemical water that was gushing from a once-plugged Texas well, and plaguing the surrounding area with a
rotten egg smell.Footage by Sarah Stogner, who was on the ground with Hawk Dunlap, shows the dramatic eruption on October 2, which the Texas Tribune
said was visible for miles.Stogner, an
oil and gas attorney, told the Texas Tribune it was the eighth time in a year that a so-called “orphaned well” in West Texas had blown out, spewing chemical water.Stogner told Storyful on November 15 that the egg smell was no longer impacting the town. Crews were still working on the well, she said, but it had stopped shooting out water. Credit: Sarah Stogner/Hawk Dunlap via Storyful
