How very sad/ I'd heard of sour gas problems from the ground in Saskatchewan and Alberta but not this.

Not to be nitpicky or anything, but the coroner's wrong...methane gas rises, heat dome or no heat dome. It's more likely to be hydrogen sulphide that killed them, but the cause and effect are the same

Just nitpicking lol

What's that documentary again Jan? River of

? Fumes from animal and farm waste are more than toxic, as shown in this documentary.

silage gas is just as deadly. There have been ALOT of deaths from that. Years ago.. a farmer not far from us died in his manure spreader. A completely enclosed tank... liquid manure, to clean out or push the sludge to the back. He died.
