URGENT UNNOTICED FEATURE: In a shot On Fox News taken from a helicopter at about 10:05 PM Thursday, I noticed a break in the earth in a meadow on the ridge above the drilling site. It looked like the earth had settled about 18 inches, in a line extending all the way across the scene. It looks like the whole mountain side has collapsed down into the mine...so, the whole mine must be unstable. and will continue to collapse.
